TikTok is planning a big 5-day RTO push next year

"The company has told US staffers across several large divisions that they will need to return to the office five days a week next year, two affected workers told Business Insider. The return-to-office push, which kicks off in September, will affect US employees across a wide set of roles, including staffers who work on advertising sales, marketing, and product, the employees said."

"TikTok and its owner, ByteDance, set in-office attendance rules by team. The company's e-commerce division, TikTok Shop, already has a five-day return-to-office requirement that at one point involved tracking the number of hours workers were physically in the office, Business Insider previously reported. RTO is very much in vogue across corporate America. After easing up on in-office requirements during the pandemic, companies like Dell, JPMorgan, and Amazon have all ramped up in-office mandates over the past couple of years."
