Meta Platforms Delays Office Reopening Again

Meta Platforms has joined other companies who have delayed their return-to-office date, with employees having the chance to come back into the office by March 28.

Facebook’s parent company Meta Platforms is one of the most recent companies to delay its office reopening in the U.S.

The Omicron variant of Covid-19 has led to a surge in cases and forced organizations to rethink their office reopening strategies.

Meta employees who want to work from the office will be able to start March 28, a delay from the original January 31 date.

Workers will be able to decide whether they want to return to the office, request to work remotely full-time, or request to work from home temporarily by March 14.

Workers in Meta’s offices will have to show proof of vaccination as well. If employees do not have a valid exemption due to medical or religious reasons, they can request to work remotely. 

“Employees who take no action can face disciplinary measures, including termination. Obviously, this would be a last resort,” a Meta spokesperson said by email.
