Uber’s return-to-office (RTO) policies have sparked intense backlash. During a recent All Hands, execs dialed in remotely—one from what appeared to be a hotel (where a man in a towel walked by), another casually from Napa—while pushing in-office mandates for the rest of the company.

This came the same week Uber revoked remote approvals, increased RTO days, and worsened a popular benefit by moving the 5-year sabbatical to 8 years with no grandfathering. Employees were furious, the Zoom chat turned chaotic, unionization was threatened, and some were reportedly let go.

The tone-deafness and “rules for thee, not for me” behavior—especially from highly compensated leadership—has left many feeling demoralized and angry.
