IBM To Managers: Move Near an Office or Leave Company

IBM delivered a companywide ultimatum to managers who are still working remotely: move near an office or leave the company. From a report: All US managers must immediately report to an office or client location at least three days a week 'regardless of current work location status,' according to a memo sent on Jan. 16 viewed by Bloomberg. Badge-in data will be used to 'assess individual presence' and shared with managers and human resources, Senior Vice President John Granger wrote in the note. Those working remotely, other than employees with exceptions such as medical issues or military service, who don't live close enough to commute to a facility must relocate near an IBM office by the start of August, according to the memo. Managers who don't agree to relocate and are unable to secure a role that's approved to be remote must 'separate from IBM,' Granger wrote.
