In a memo sent out by Interim City Manager Jesus Garza last month, city executives will be required to return to the office five days a week starting next week. All other city staff will have to show up in the office three days a week starting October 1st. City of Austin employees are headed back to the office after many of them spent the last three years working remotely.
