Many tech firms have spent the last two years summoning workers back into the office—all the while threatening them with layoffs. Even Zoom reverted to in-person working last year.

But now, it looks like tech bosses have given up their war on working from home.

Just 3% of tech firms are now asking their workers to go into the office full-time—a significant drop from 8% last year.

Flex Index analyzed the flexible work policies for 2,670 tech companies that collectively employ over 11 million people—and it found that tech firms have conceded that flexible working is here to stay.

In fact, 79% of the tech firms surveyed are fully flexible, up from 75% in 2023.

Meanwhile, more and more firms are giving employees the choice of when and where they work.

    Yeah but how many have mandated RTO hours? I know Amazon is demanding two-hour minimums for their office workers. A far cry from fulltime but not exactly commuter friendly.

      Amazon corporate has still not budged. Not only do you have to go in for that minimum, but you also have to badge in at least twice a week or your manager and skip level get a ticket about it.
