“Starting [Sept. 11], all IBM Software employees will be required to spend at least 3 days in the office each week. The decision on which days will be left to managers and individual project teams,” the blog said.
Earlier this year IBM CEO Arvind Krishna noted to workers: “We encourage you to come in, we expect you to come in, we want you to come in.” He said those workers who decline to return to offices may miss out of career opportunities.
IBM owns Raleigh-based Red Hat which offers “the majority of our associates the freedom to be ‘office-flex,’ where they can come to the office as much as they need to, or not at all if they choose.”
