Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky has criticized the practice of "remote to the office" (RTO) mandates. He claims that many of the executives that require their employees be
physically present in the office are often working remotely. - Chesky argues that this practice creates a double standard and undermines remote work's flexibility.
- Chesky
believes RTO mandates reflect a lack of empathy and understanding from
bosses who demand in-office work while enjoying remote work privileges.
- Chesky
advocates for leadership that sets an example and promotes a culture of
trust and flexibility rather than enforcing rigid office attendance
requirements.
- Companies are increasingly reevaluating their
work policies and exploring hybrid work models that combine in-person
and remote work, acknowledging the value of flexibility and
accommodating diverse employee needs. While many companies wanted to
mandate returns to the office immediately following the pandemic, this
trend has had significant resistance.
- The comments should be interpreted through Chesky's lens as Airbnb CEO, a company that benefits significantly from remote work.
