'Firmer expectations' | Meta to enforce three-day office week mandate to 'support collaboration'

Meta has announced that employees must come into the office three days a week starting from September, in a marked change from the company’s previous policies which embraced the hybrid model. 

The tech and social media behemoth confirmed it had updated its policies last week to ensure that staff assigned to a specific office would be required to now spend three fifths of their working week in the office.

Staff who were hired on remote contracts will not be affected by the new rules, a source told Business Insider.

An internal memo reportedly said that "firmer in-person expectations will be a shift for some and will require trade offs," before adding that in-office working "supports collaboration and the energy that come from working alongside your team, which are critical as we build the future."
