Walmart halts H-1B visa offers amid Trump’s $100,000 fee increase - Bloomberg
Investing.com -- Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) will exempt many sales roles from its upcoming return-to-office mandate, Bloomberg reports, offering a more flexible approach than many of its tech industry peers.
For certain client and partner-facing positions, "we recognize that the nature of work differs from other parts of Microsoft," human resources executive Theresa McHenry reportedly wrote in a memo to employees this week.
The exemption applies to roles such as commercial sales and solution engineering, according to the memo reviewed by Bloomberg.
While many technology companies have been requiring staff to return to offices, Microsoft had previously announced a more flexible approach. Last month, the company stated that Seattle-area employees would need to work from the office three days per week starting next spring, with similar requirements to follow for staff in other US locations and worldwide.
"We are committed to flexibility where it makes sense," McHenry noted in her message to employees.
