IBM Requires US Managers to Report to Office or Leave

Managers Must Relocate Near an Office by August, Aligning with CEO's Belief in In-Person Work

IBM has issued a company-wide directive requiring all US managers to report to an office or client location at least three days a week, regardless of their current work location status.
Managers who live too far to commute to an IBM facility must relocate near an office by the start of August.
Exceptions to this rule are made for employees with medical issues or military service.
Managers who do not comply with these requirements and cannot secure a remote-approved role must separate from IBM.
The policy aligns with CEO Arvind Krishna's belief in the value of in-person work, stating that promotions will be rarer for those who aren't on-site.
