Farmers Insurance Back-to-Office Push Faces Pushback

Farmers Insurance has joined the growing list of companies facing significant pushback after initiating a back-to-office push.

‍

The arrival of the company’s new CEO brought with it a change to their internal remote work policy, which had previously enabled a majority of the company’s more than twenty thousand employees to work from home. The new policy would have a majority of the company’s employees in-office at least three days a week.

‍

After making the announcement, the company’s social media feed was flooded with more than 2,000 comments airing grievances about having relocated, sold vehicles, and even taken the job in the first place with the understanding that remote work would remain the policy going forward.
