Are there any companies that are already back in the office? Have any announced plans to return by the end of May?

Saw an article a while back[0]

FWIW, it says Uber opened already, but returning to office is voluntary at this point, there are capacity limits (IIRC 20%), and as far as I know, most people are still working from home.

Intentionally not mentioning company name. Ours will bring up to 60% back to the office by June/Aug timeframe. People can opt to work from remote part of the time with mgmt approval. Some people can work remote full time with VP approval.

I know a lot of small hedge funds are back in the office full time, full staff.
