Other companies, such as Amazon and Facebook, have delayed returns to January, while Google aimed for October. The competitive tech market pressures companies to be cautious about demanding office returns, fearing employee turnover. Interestingly, a Microsoft survey revealed that nearly half of its employees wish to return to the office multiple times a week post-pandemic.
