Some of the country’s biggest tech giants are continuing to wind back remote work.

According to The Verge, Google is making remote work the exception, not the rule. “We know that a number of people moved to fully remote work for many good reasons, as we all adjusted to the pandemic,” read an internal email viewed by the publication. “For those who are remote and who live near a Google office, we hope you’ll consider switching to a hybrid work schedule. Our offices are where you’ll be most connected to Google’s community. Going forward, we’ll consider new remote work requests by exception only.”

Google has already embraced a hybrid model, with employees expected to venture into the office at least three days per week. Meta will begin enforcing a similar hybrid rule in September.

Other tech giants have already enforced some variation on the back-to-the-office mandate. Late last year, Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff complained that a lack of in-office culture might be translating into lower productivity among newer employees; the company subsequently pushed its workers to return to their office desks.

Amazon has also instituted a hybrid work policy. “It’s easier to learn, model, practice, and strengthen our culture when we’re in the office together most of the time and surrounded by our colleagues,” CEO Andy Jassy wrote in a Feb. 17 memo to employees. “Of course, there will be plenty of meetings that will have significant virtual participation, but having more in-person interactions helps people absorb the culture better.”

Fortunately for these companies (and others wrestling with their own remote- and hybrid-work policies), multiple surveys over the past few years have indicated that most workers prefer hybrid work. For younger tech professionals, hybrid work offers in-person mentorship and camaraderie along with scheduling flexibility. From a management perspective, that flexibility can help keep workforce morale high—which could translate into better employee retention.
