Washington Post Enforces Strict Office Return Policy

Employees must return to a five-day office schedule or resign as Jeff Bezos aims to reshape the paper's future.

The Washington Post has mandated that all employees return to the office full-time by June 2, 2025, with management required back by February 3.
The decision follows Jeff Bezos' controversial move to block an endorsement of Kamala Harris, leading to a significant subscriber loss.
250,000 digital readers unsubscribed in protest, exacerbating existing financial losses projected at $77 million for the year.
The internal backlash includes staff concerns over leadership changes and the future direction of the paper under new CEO William Lewis.
The Washington Post Guild is contesting the return-to-office mandate, while some journalists seek opportunities elsewhere.
