Time to get back to rock pile, in a manner of speaking, if someone works at BlackRock. The powers that be have laid down the law: come to the office at least four days a week, according to a Reuters report.
"We will shift to at least four days per week in the office, with the flexibility to work from home one day per week," said a memo that Reuters had seen. "This new approach begins on the 11th of September."
BlackRock has plenty of company. AT&T is both reducing its office footprint into nine main offices and requiring managers, for now at least, to be in at least three days a week, according to a Bloomberg report. That's reminiscent of Walmart's move in February, closing three of its U.S. technology centers and requiring tech staff to relocate if necessary, working at least two days a week in the office, or lose their job, though with severance.
