General Motors Co. executives are delaying the timeline for bringing white-collar workers back to the office after backlash from a decision released last week requiring employees to return to in-person work three days a week, according to a Tuesday memo.
"We acknowledge that the timing of the message, late on a Friday afternoon, was unfortunate. It was also unintentional," the automaker's top executives, including CEO Mary Barra and President Mark Reuss, wrote in the memo obtained by The Detroit News.
GM on Friday told employees it would require them to return to the office three days a week later this year. That decision came after GM last year introduced a "Work Appropriately" model that gave GM teams the flexibility to work from home, a lab, an office, or wherever they can do their best work.
