Do as I say, not as I do.

I’ve been 100% WFH since 2015, as a Salesforce developer. There are definitely some minor drawbacks to it, from socialization to getting left out of certain decisions that can happen more spur of the moment that video/teleconferencing can’t really solve, no matter how hard you try. The place I work for has a 1 day a week policy for those who aren’t fully remote, which seems pretty reasonable to me. Some people come in every day while others only come in once a week.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Salesforce billionaire CEO Marc Benioff seems to have somewhat of a muddled stance on hybrid working.

59-year-old Benioff, who mandated his workers back to the office earlier this year, discussed the balance of in-person and remote working in a recent interview with GQ,

"When I talk to my friends, and they’re going through some kind of existential crisis, I’ll say to them, ‘Just tell me what are five things that are making you super unhappy right now?’

Leaked company messages from earlier this year, showed that non-remote employees are now expected to be in the office three days a week, while non-remote employees in customer-facing roles have to be in the office four days a week.

This was a toned-down version of the policy too, per Business Insider’s previous reporting, after getting employee feedback.

Salesforce joins a number of tech companies that have walked back on their remote working policies in recent months.
