Microsoft is officially sending employees back to the office

Are they going to claim remote working is to blame for the unpopularity of Windows 11? Maybe getting together in the office will help come up with better ideas than just more ads and telemetry?

Maybe they don’t even want to rely on Microsoft Teams internally anymore…

Don't have to announce layoffs if you can make a few percent quit.

Particularly the older people who have settled and can't relocate. It's like age discrimination without all the annoying legal drawbacks.

This seems paywalled, but there's a blog post from Microsoft: https://blogs.microsoft.com/blog/2025/09/09/flexible-work-up...

>With that in mind, we’re updating our flexible work expectations to three days a week in the office.
