Continues to die lol

Returning to office lol

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Over the last three years, Meta went through the same cycle of remote work as an increasingly large number of other tech companies.

As time went on, though, executives began to discover that a lot of things about work are simply harder to do through a webcam and a chat window and began to try to bring people back to the office without upsetting those who had gotten used to having no commute and no nearby co-workers.

And then, this year, the company simply stopped caring about the backlash and told everyone to come back.

Earlier this year, in a note to staff, Zuckerberg wrote that while the company was committed to distributed work, “our hypothesis is that it is still easier to build trust in person and that those relationships help us work more effectively.” The company found that younger and newer employees in particular performed better in an in-person environment.

Most Google employees are in the office three days a week, and Amazon has been enforcing the same policy since May.

Meta, of course, is investing billions in the metaverse and specifically the idea that the office of the future may be inside your Quest headset.

The original article contains 490 words, the summary contains 198 words. Saved 60%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

The company whose whole business model revolves around internet communication and connections with virtual in-person experiences in a “metaverse” is requiring people to return to a physical office. Oh this is classic.
