Goldman Sachs just upped the ante on the remote work reckoning.
The company is asking workers to come back to the office five days a week, according to a Bloomberg report. This is a much stricter policy than many other corporations, who have asked employees to return for at least two to three days a week.
And Goldman’s move to raise the stakes on RTO could spur others to do the same.
“It’s time to face reality. We’re getting back to five days a week, because that’s the reality. That’s what we saw before COVID and that’s what we’re currently seeing,” said Jason Greer, the founder and president of Greer Consulting, on CNBC Wednesday.
“Companies are coming from the perspective of this… If I pay you every two weeks to come into the office, you come into the office and if you don’t like it, take your ball and go somewhere else because there are thousands of employees looking to get your position,” Greer said.
