Snap employees to work from office starting February

NEW YORK: Snap Inc will require 80% of its employees to return to office from end-February, a company spokesperson told Reuters on Monday.

“After working remotely for so long, we’re excited to get everyone back together next year with our new 80/20 hybrid model,” the company spokesperson said in an emailed statement.

Bloomberg News first reported the development and said the owner of photo messaging app Snapchat had asked its employees to be in the office four days a week starting in February.

The tech industry was among the first to allow employees to work from home when Covid-19 hit the US in 2020. But the extent to which tech companies are embracing permanent remote work is now diverging.
