IBM is implementing strict new work-from-office policies for its US sales staff, mandating at least three days in an office or client location. This decision has raised concerns among employees who view it as a strategic move to encourage older, higher-paid employees to leave the company. The return-to-office initiative, framed as essential for client interaction, has a significant impact on those reluctant to relocate, adding to their uncertainty in job security amid increasing competition for talent from early career professionals.
"In a staff memo seen by The Register, Adam Lawrence, general manager for IBM Americas, billed the return-to-office for most stateside sales personnel as a 'return to client initiative.'"
"IBM has been moving employees, with new rules requiring US sales staff to work at least three days a week at client locations or designated offices."
