Amazon's RTO backlash, Google's desk-sharing: Big companies clash with employees over the future of work (via CNBCMakeIt)

and Twitter are among other big companies that have started calling employees back to the office. Initially, it looked like it was working. But now, it's not so clear.because employees are increasingly unwilling to comply with those requirements, and organizations are unsure or reluctant about how to enforce them, even though they're technically in place," Caitlin Duffy, director of research at Gartner, told CNBC Make It.That uncertainty started to show up in the data last month.

The biggest annoyance? Commuting to work , followed by getting home later . People also cited having to spend more money on lunch and work attire, having to WEAR work attire, not being home with their kids and pets, and being expected to socialize with co-workers.In the Amazon petition, employees cited internal data that most employees preferred to work remotely with maybe a monthly meet-up or, at most, be in the office one or two days a week, according to The Washington Post.

Nick Bloom, a Stanford economics professor who researches work-from-home topics, said he doesn't ever see employees going back to five days a week in the office. Bloom has been at this WFH study since long before the pandemic. In a 2015 study, Bloom and a few other researchers found that call center workers at a Chinese travel agency, who were randomly assigned to work from home or the office for nine months, were actually more productive when they were working from home.
