US Companies and Irish Banks Bring Workers Back to the Office Amid Hybrid Working Reversal

US corporate chiefs, including Home Depot and Stellantis, have ordered employees to return to the office full-time, with banking group PNC and Meta's Instagram workers also required to surrender to the daily commute. Irish financial and professional services firms, such as AIB, have also tightened hybrid-working rules, asking staff to spend more time in the office for collaboration and learning. Employers are taking more control of flexible arrangements, with a focus on early career and leadership levels.
