The Globe and Mail reports in its Wednesday edition that in the five years since the pandemic began, workers have grown accustomed to a script: Their bosses make return-to-office plans, which then get shelved. A New York Times dispatch to The Globe says that in recent weeks, the calls to end remote work have come back with gusto, and with authority. On Monday, U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order requiring federal department heads to "terminate remote work arrangements" and require all federal workers to return to in-person work five days a week. He previewed the move in December when he said those federal workers who refused to go into the office were "going to be dismissed." Some chief executive officers, who have long been enthusiastic about ditching remote work, have also announced full return-to-office plans. Amazon, JPMorgan, and AT&T told many employees they would have to be back in the office five days a week this year. Even in popular culture, the office is making a comeback, with Severance returning for a new season probing corporate psychological drama and buzzy newsletters like "Feed Me" declaring remote work "out." Some workers have come back to in-person work of their own volition.
