Washington Post Employees Ordered Back To the Office
Long-time Slashdot reader DesScorp writes:
The Washingtonian magazine reports that yet another company is ending most remote work for its employees. The Post’s previous policy from 2022 until now had been 3 days in office, 2 days remote. The employee union for the paper, the Washington Post Guild, will oppose the mandate.
The union sent members a defiant email, according to the article. “Guild leadership sees this for what it is: a change that stands to further disrupt our work than to improve our productivity or collaboration.”
Managers will have to return beginning February 3, 2025, and all other employees will be expected in the office beginning June 2 [according to a memo from publisher Will Lewis]. “I want that great office energy for us every day,” Lewis writes. “I am reliably informed that is how it used to be here before Covid, and it’s important we get this back.”
