Oregon’s PacifiCorp will require employees to return to office full-time
PacifiCorp, an electric utility company headquartered in Portland, Oregon, has informed employees that they will be required to return to office full-time. Currently, PacifiCorp employees are given the option to work remotely full-time, but beginning on January 6, it will be mandatory for workers to be in office. The company’s CEO stated that in-person work allows employees to support and learn from each other, and allows for more effective collaboration and communication. The CEO also announced that various employees would be receiving wage increases to stay competitive with other companies in the industry. The raises are separate from salary increases that come from end-of-year annual reviews. Various employees have expressed opposition to returning in person full time, stating that they have family responsibilities and children to take care of, and they need the flexibility of a hybrid working schedule.
