EA told workers they must work at the office three days each week. The company will stop hiring people who work only from home. Workers already working from home who live within 30 miles of an office must start coming in three days a week. Those who live farther away can keep working as they do for a time. The company promises to give staff at least 12 weeks' notice before making them change.
EA chief Andrew Wilson claims offices create energy that helps make better games. Many workers feel upset about these changes. Some fear they might need to move closer to work, and others worry about changing their whole lives for this rule. These rules may push talented staff to leave the company.
EA just fired 300 to 400 workers recently. The layoffs hit Respawn with 100 job cuts. EA also canceled a new game set in the Titanfall world. Some see these office return rules as another way to cut staff without paying severance. The company might save money but lose valuable talent.
