AFTER GOOGLE, ANOTHER TOP MULTINATIONAL COMPANY ALLOWS EMPLOYEES TO WORK FROM HOME TILL JUNE 2021

Working from home has become the new workplace reality for employees due to the deadly COVID-19. From IT to tech companies, working employees are very well managing the work culture and pressure from home. 

Currently, employers and employees are realizing the benefits of working remotely. After Google and many other tech companies extended their remote-work timeline, Uber joined the list stating that they have allowed employees to work from home through June 2021.

This news got confirmed through CEO Dara Khosrowshahi, who told employees at a meeting. He further stated that the move is not a mandate one, which means- workers will be allowed to return to offices if they open before then.

With the rise in cases across the world, Amazon and Apple have asked their employees to return in January, while Twitter has allowed employees to work from home “forever” if they wish. Seems like, Uber’s delay could be the start of more companies shifting their return date even later. 

As per CNBC report, most tech companies have announced that the bulk of employees can work from home until the end of 2020, or haven’t finalized a date. 

According to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University,  as of Tuesday (August 4), the U.S. reported 4.71 million coronavirus cases, with at least 155,478 deaths.
