Amazon, Apple, Google and Facebook: the return to work in office

Facebook’s plans for returning to the office From the Bloomberg pages leaked today the guidelines established by Facebook for the return to the office of its employees in the United States which, as already anticipated a couple of weeks ago, will take place starting from the first half of July. Similar measures could also apply to those employed in other countries globally.

For those who will access the buildings, there will be an obligation to undergo body temperature control, a precaution already adopted by Amazon among others in its logistics centers around the world. The return will also be progressive: initially no more than 25% of the workforce will return to the desk, so as to guarantee the possibility of operating in complete safety, respecting the basic rules of social distancing. Between one station and another there will be at least 1.8 meters and for situations in which it should prove necessary to be in closer contact, the obligation to wear a mask will be in force.

Meetings in presence will be reduced to a minimum and no outsider will be able to enter the facilities at least initially. Again, no buffet for lunch breaks. Recently, number one Mark Zuckerberg announced that collaborators will be free to continue working from home in smart working mode at least for the whole summer in case they are not comfortable with the idea of ​​returning to the office earlier of the end of the health crisis. Unconfirmed rumors would like the opportunity extended until the end of the year.

The approximately 48,000 full-time employees employed by Facebook around the world in March received a $ 1,000 bonus in paychecks for the support provided during the period marked by the COVID-19 emergency.
