"Seven out of 10 companies have formal RTO policies requiring some in-office time. A surprising 93% of business leaders believe being in the office is necessary. Fully flexible setups (remote or employee's choice) dropped from 39% of jobs to 28% between 2023 and 2024. Only 7% of companies allow fully remote work in 2025, down from 21% in 2024."
""I'm not making fun of Zoom, but younger people are being left behind," Dimon said recently, according to Bloomberg. "If you look back at your careers, you learned a little bit from the apprentice system. You were with other people who took you on a sales call or told you how to handle a mistake or something like that. It doesn't happen when you're in a basement on Zoom.""
The pandemic-era shift to remote work largely reversed as employers reinstated in-office requirements and reduced fully flexible roles. Seven in ten firms now have formal return-to-office policies, and a large majority of business leaders view in-person presence as necessary. Fully remote jobs became rare and flexible arrangements declined substantially. Significant portions of employees would seek new jobs or quit rather than comply with strict five-day mandates. Executives assert office presence fosters apprenticeship and on-the-job learning. Some companies faced legal and financial repercussions for denying remote accommodations to workers with health issues.
