The executive leadership has issued a mandatory "Return to Work" policy whereby everyone needs to be in the office 5 days a week. There are no exceptions (outside of individual IT contributors without direct reports and senior management that excuse themselves from the policies they put in place). Many people in major US cities travel almost 2 hours to get to the office. I believe this is part of a planned attrition strategy to reduce US workforce and increase presence in India where labor is cheaper. This 0 flexibility policy makes UPS one of the worst places I have ever worked and will make it nearly impossible to attract management talent.
Additionally, these changes come in the midsts of mass layoffs. So in addition to coming to work 5 days a week, the workload has increased.
