'I walked away' | Hybrid worker quits £80k job after firm imposes full-time office return

An employee gave up a lucrative job after bosses told the workforce to return to the office full-time.

As reported by Business Insider, 53-year-old Felicia (whose surname and employer were kept confidential), was working as an administrator in Arizona, US, and earning more than $100,000 (approx £80,500 at the time of publication).

The company had been operating on a hybrid working model consisting of three days working from home and two days in the office – a balance Felicia described as perfect.

She also claimed to get “a lot more done” on her WFH days as there were far fewer distractions or interruptions from co-workers, not to mention the time saved commuting.
