Disney employees rn

All Disney staffers will soon be required to spend at least four days per week in the office for the first time in three years, according to a memo sent to employees by CEO Bob Iger yesterday. Apparently it’s a small an in-person world, after all.

And on that note: Disney isn’t alone in its back-to-the-office push. Apple, Twitter, Snap, Vanguard, and Paycom have all ordered employees to return to working primarily in-person over recent months.

• As it currently sits, the office occupancy rate across America’s 10 largest cities is just under 50% – though that could soon begin to climb.

📸 Big picture: According to Iger, the return to in-person work is intended to boost movie/TV creative processes, as well as the company’s culture in general. And he may not be alone in that thought – some 70% of company managers in the US want their workers to be in the office all five days a week, per a recent survey from Fiverr. (Which may have something to do with why 14% of all US job positions advertised in September offered remote work, down from an all-time high of 20% in February, per the latest LinkedIn data.)
