Office Return Stalls Despite Rising In-Office Mandates

Many companies are telling their employees to come back to the office more often.

Even though companies like Microsoft and Paramount are ordering employees to return, people aren't really showing up much more.

Some companies are trying to force people back by saying they must come in five days a week, or they'll lose their jobs.

However, many employees and even some managers don't want to be there.

Logistical issues like a lack of desks, parking, and video conferencing equipment make returning to the office difficult.

Companies can also save money by quietly encouraging people to leave through office return policies.
