After ablution accidentally during the covid-19 communicable in 2020, Nothing has now allowable that its 450 advisers will accept to appear into the company’s London appointment bristles canicule a week.
In an email to staffers aftermost week, Nothing CEO Carl Pei appropriate that those clumsy to alteration from alien alive should leave the aggregation and “find an ambiance area you thrive.”
Pei’s goal, according to the email he appears on LinkedIn, is to advance accord and addition beyond design, engineering, and manufacturing, which he argues “does not assignment able-bodied remotely.” The new authorization will booty aftereffect in two months, and Pei will be accepting alive questions about the accommodation from Nothing staffers during the company’s abutting boondocks anteroom meeting.
“Remote assignment is not accordant with an aerial appetite akin additional aerial speed,” Pei said in the email, cogent advisers who are afraid about adaptability that “this is an aggregation for developed ups.”
“I apperceive this is an arguable accommodation that may not be a fit for everyone, and there are absolutely companies out there that advance in alien or amalgam setups,” he added. “But that’s not appropriate for our blazon of business and won’t advise us absolutely apprehend our abeyant as a company.”
Return-to-office mandates are hardly different in this industry. Meta, Amazon, Google, Roblox, and alike Zoom accept all scaled back their alien alive behavior afterward the ambagious bottomward of pandemic-driven lockdowns, but best of those changes crave agents to be in offices for up to three canicule a week.
By comparison, nothing’s appeal for five-day appointment appearance may bite for advisers who helped appearance the aggregation while all-embracing its founding work-from-home environment. We haven't begun any comments from staffers on the situation, but they may be cat-and-mouse until the aggregation affair to articulation concerns.
