ALL remote workers currently at Intel either get to a site by Nov 15 OR you no longer work for Intel. This is another way to reduce the headcount there is still a fair amount of remote workers so that helps to get the employee numbers much lower.

@11d: if the few were known to abuse the rto/wfh, should they be dealt with first?
Talked with quite a few managers the past few days. Lots of stories of blatant abuse of WFH. People thinking they can’t get caught working multiple jobs, using USB mouse jigglers all day, putting mice on something in motion to stay green in teams, etc. They can see all that fairly easily. They did coffee badging studies via security a couple of months ago, it wasn’t pretty. Not to mention the exaggerated whining, which gives the perception of wrongdoing. Earned or not.
Blame those people for RTO first. The adults who handled it responsibly are now going to suffer thanks to a minority that abused it. Totally predictable, and not totally unwarranted.
Can’t even hire people that know the difference between your and you’re.
My missing the big picture what?
@ct they know what they are doing! Best leaders in the business!
@a8 If productivity is down, how is Intel still Fab and Design with 45k less people?
Have your friends timeshare badges and both will benefit.
So says the Zoom Exec. Anyone else getting the irony? Ok just me...
Are you sure that there will be no exceptions? I wouldn't bet too much on that, if I were you...
Folks with exception approved already can still start remote!

There has always been WFH at intel, they are worsening pre covid on site policies with widespread micromanaging
@a8 would love to read what study you are referring to. Please enlighten us with the link to the study.
Why do employees think that working from home full-time or part-time is a benefit they are entitled to? Everyone working from home was a temporary risk mitigation for pandemic infection. Companies (not just Intel) have done the analysis and they know that productivity is down, and it's not just current productivity, there are 2nd and 3rd order effects in long-term product development and planning. There really is a bigger picture, and it is a much bigger picture than the OP suggests.
You are already surveilled at every turn. Pick your hill
The problem is surveillance with a threat of termination, we are already going to the office 4 days a week.
