Apple and Peloton are among the companies pushing for a return in September after Labor Day.
Companies such as Apple and Peloton Interactive have told corporate and office-based workers in the US to come back next month, and whether they do will say a lot about the ever-shifting balance of power between bosses and their underlings.
Those days might be over soon. As the US economy and sharemarket deliver mixed signals about the outlook for growth, business leaders have decided to draw a line in the sand. Beyond Apple and Peloton, Royal Bank of Canada and Comcast have also told workers to return several days a week sometime after Labor Day, which falls on September 5.Co continue to bash remote work, raising concerns among some workers that staying home might be hazardous to their career.
“We believe post Labor Day will be a meaningful milestone” said Jay Jiang, finance chief at Dream Office, a Canadian real estate investment trust, which owns office buildings and parking garages in Toronto and other cities. “We’ll start to see a lot more traction after Labor Day and getting people back into the office.”
