Twitter employees have received a letter stating they can start returning to Twitter offices beginning March 15.
Twitter's newly assigned CEO Parag Agrawal highlighted that the return to the offices will prioritize the employees' creativity and productivity. With this, he stated that workers will be given multiple options in their working systems.
Twitter Employees Return to Office
The return to Twitter offices is optional. This means that employees are permitted to either work from home or work from anywhere. Employees who desire a blended setup of a couple of days working from home and some days working in the office will also be allowed to do so.
Numerous employees have previously expressed their desire to return to Twitter's offices.
CEO Parag Agrawal tributes this move to the co-founder and previous CEO Jack Dorsey imposing the culture that employees should be able to work remotely full time if that's what they are comfortable with.
According to The Verge, in his letter, Parag stated:
"As we open back up, our approach remains the same. Wherever you feel most productive and creative is where you will work and that includes working from home full-time forever. Office every day? That works too. Some days in office, some days from home? Of course. That's actually how most of you feel. This brings me to my next point.."
He also added:
"Details on logistics, dates, safety measures, and how we work will be coming soon from Pat and Tracy to whom I am deeply grateful, along with the amazing cross-functional team that carried us through the past two years."
Parag ended the letter expressing his gratitude towards its workers in the Twitter headquarters and offices who continued to show up despite the pandemic for the last two years. The CEO expressed his glee in being able to meet his employees in various Twitter offices again.

Return to Office by Google
Twitter is one of the tech giants that has continuously expressed its approval of remote and blended working arrangements publicly. This is also due to the fact that previous CEO Jack Dorsey like to work at home and work in the office on several days.
Just like Twitter, Google has also reported that it will open its doors, though the change will be mandatory.
CNET stated that as of April 4, Google will require the vast majority of its employees to report to work three days per week. However, there are numerous employees who are not ready to revert back to the traditional employment environment. With that, Google stated these employees now have the option to work remotely from home or work from anywhere. In addition, Google employees also have the option to switch or transfer locations.
Employees who are not vaccinated but are permitted to enter offices will be required to adhere to testing and mask-wearing regulations. However, employees who are not fully vaccinated will not be able to access Google offices.
Aside from Google and Twitter, Microsoft has already resumed its operations in its Washington and San Francisco Bay Area offices last Feb. 28. Microsoft intended to open last year in September, however, it was postponed due to the rising cases of COVID-19.
