If employees aren’t around to participate in “extras” (birthday parties, answering questions in person), she argued, “management has a strong incentive to change their status to ‘contractor.’” Merrill’s staff rebelled by staging a publishing strike; she went into apology mode. Yet there remains widespread uncertainty about when people will be expected to return to their newsrooms, and anxiety over how much. Concepción De León, a writer at the New York Times, told me, “Expecting employees to be sitting at their desk for ten hours feels like more of a power trip than something that’s an actual necessity.” “Definitely not five days a week—that’s over,” Pierre-Antoine Louis, who works on the Race/Related newsletter and the national desk at the Times, said. In March, Times bosses sent a memo to staff announcing plans “for more flexibility” and a process for considering full-time remote-work requests; the official return date is September 7, though staffers will begin returning as early as July. The “voluntary work from home policy” at Thomson Reuters runs through July; Vox Media and Conde Nast have said that no one will be required to return before September, and the latter company sent an email to employees promising that “remote work will be a larger part of our future workforce strategy.” Employees aren’t eager...
