As the pandemic wears off and most corporations adjust to recent normals, many employees have returned to the physical office, either on a hybrid or full-time schedule.
And according to a recent report by US Bureau of Labor Statisticsthe variety of US employees ditching distant work days is on the rise.
Data from August 1 to September 2022 show that as many as 72.5% of personal sector corporations had “few” distant employees during this era. Corporations that reported having “some” distant employees accounted for 16.4%.
Of the same corporations, only 11.1% had employees working remotely 100% of the time.
A few 12 months earlier, from July to September 2021, 60.1% of corporations reported having “few or no” distant employees, while 10.3% of the same corporations had full-time distant employees.
Amongst the industries with the highest percentage of distant employees were information (42.2%) and skilled and business services (25.0%).
Each industries are a part of the tech sector, which has been particularly affected by mass layoffs in recent months and has forced corporations to return to direct work to assess which roles and positions are essential for achievement.
One such company is Twitter, which is notorious returned to full time the personal model, since Elon Musk bought the social media platform and demanded that employees conform to his “hardcore” plan for the company.
Last week, Musk sent a mass email to employees at 2:30 a.m., reminding them to come to the office each day and that the rule was “not optional.”
