Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said these disagreements need to be resolved, saying the workplace is unlikely to return to pre-COVID-19 work habits.

Some companies have struggled to impose new ways of working, one of which is the obligation to return to work. At Apple, for example, the rejection of the back-to-office policy occurred among employees. Apple requires employees to return to the office only three days a week starting in September.
Meanwhile, Tesla boss Elon Musk has established a firm policy requiring employees to work 40 hours a week in the office. The company expressly emails all employees saying, “If you don’t show up at the office, we’ll assume you’ve resigned.”
