The push to get employees into the office on a hybrid schedule is getting more aggressive. <\/p>\n
Why it matters: As the labor market softens, especially in tech, employers are pushing harder on in-person attendance. <\/p>\n
The big picture: Tech companies were once outspoken remote work boosters. That changed after layoffs rocked the industry swinging the balance of power in favor of management. <\/p>\n
What's happening: In a company-wide email last week, Google chief people officer Fiona Cicconi told staff that office attendance will be considered in their performance reviews, the WSJ first reported. <\/p>\n
State of play: Google, a unit of tech giant Alphabet, had already asked employees to come in three days a week back in April. Many ignored the request, according to the Washington Post. <\/p>\n
Zoom in: The law firm Davis Polk and banking giant JPMorgan also consider in-office attendance as a component of performance reviews. <\/p>\n
Yes, but: The push by tech companies to get employees into offices has been driven by Silicon Valley giants. Smaller tech firms have been more likely to stick with remote work policies. <\/p>\n
What to watch: How workers react. Recall, hundreds of Amazon employees walked out of the job over return-to-office mandates last month. <\/p>\n
