Last month, tech giant Amazon mandated a five office days a week policy starting next year. \nSuch post-pandemic mandates were put in the spotlight when in 2022 Tesla chief executive officer Elon Musk enacted a strict return-to-office policy, demanding employees spend a minimum of forty hours in the office per week.\nAsked if the mandate by Grab follows the same spirit as Tesla, the Grab employee said that the firm will “still accommodate flexible hours and exceptional personal circumstances”. \n\n\n\n\nEMPLOYEES DISAPPOINTED\nAnother Grab employee in his 20s told CNA he was “disappointed” with the sudden move, as the three-day work-from-office and two-day work-from-home arrangement has been going well for him. \n“Whilst I acknowledge the benefits that face-to-face interaction brings, there are days when I don't have meetings, and do not see any particular benefit that work from office brings on such days,” he said. \nHe added that his office commute takes about an hour each way. \nGoing back to the office another two days each week would mean an additional four hours of commuting, he said. \n“I was looking to spend time in the evenings cooking dinner on my now extinct work-from-home days with the time saved from the commute.” \nGrab officially opened its nine-storey headquarters at one-north in August 2022. \nCNA has contacted Grab to ask for the reason behind the move.","kind":null,"is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"Policy And Regulatory","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.29.1","shortVersion":"4.29.1","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2477052195"}
