Microsoft Delays US Return to Office Indefinitely

Microsoft is pushing off its return to offices in the US indefinitely amid rising cases of COVID-19 across the country.

“Given the uncertainty of COVID-19, we’ve decided against attempting to forecast a new date for a full reopening of our US work sites in favor of opening US work sites as soon as we’re able to do so safely based on public health guidance,” Microsoft’s corporate vice president for modern work, Jared Spataro, wrote in a blog post. He added that the company would communicate a 30-day transition period to allow employees time to prepare to return to work sites.
