Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced that “The company will allow all full-time employees to work from home if their jobs can be done remotely.”
“We’ve learned over the past year that good work can get done anywhere, and I’m even more optimistic that remote work at scale is possible, particularly as remote video presence and virtual reality continue to improve,” Zuckerberg wrote. Zuckerberg also said, “Facebook will begin allowing employees to request remote work across international borders. After next Tuesday, the company will allow U.S. employees to request remote work in Canada and those in Europe to request remote work in the U.K.” By January 2022, the company will allow employees to permanently move between seven countries in Europe. By early September Facebook plans to open most of its U.S. offices at 50% capacity and by October it will likely open completely, with a workforce of about 60,000. Zuckerberg said “Employees who want to work in an office will be asked to come in at least half the time. This is to ensure that the office remains vibrant and that employees who do come into the office make the most of being a part of that community.” Additionally, he said “Facebook plans to organize regular in-person gathers for office and remote workers to support the relationship-building.” Also Read: Facebook will Treat All its Users SAME
