Some big companies are pushing for their employees to return to the office as much as five days a week, but the breach between CEO’s and workers has not disappeared. 

According to a report on CNBC, “this past week alone, Boeing and UPS called workers back to the office five days a week.”

"A survey by the Conference Board found few U.S. CEOs saying they will prioritize bringing workers back to the office full time in the year ahead. But more generally, companies that take a hard stance on returning to the office understand that it may not work for everyone, and it’s a chance they are willing to take because of the strategic value being placed on in-office collaboration.”

"This week, Dell informed staff that most of its workers will have to come into the office an average of three days a week. Those who want to remain working remotely could request special classification but would not be considered for promotion,” according to Business Insider.

But the debate over whether this approach will backfire in the long run rages on. 

Cary Cooper, an organizational psychologist at the University of Manchester and author of "Remote Workplace Culture," told Business Insider that the increased oversight is a symptom of antiquated management strategy."It's dinosaur management of the highest order. They don't understand the marketplace for talent, and they're going to be in trouble as a consequence," he said in the article. 

BusinessInsider also reported that “the harsh demands to come into the office are also fueling speculation that, as waves of layoffs hit multiple industries, they are a strategy to push out more staff — a phenomenon known as "quiet firing.”
