Do bay area companies now enforce core hours policy, i.e. you have to be physically in office from 9:30 AM - 4:00 PM every weekday? My company started enforcing it recently and I am not happy about it. I am thinking of quitting.

I feel like its more than a productivity statistics thing. Maybe its a culture thing among upper managment.

You should quit. I get that you have to be reachable in those hours, but in office?
