Roblox, the popular video game company based in the Bay Area's San Mateo, is requiring most workers relocate to the city or face layoffs.
Last week, the Bay Area-based video game giant Roblox announced that if employees don’t start coming into the office three days a week, they’re out. Those rules, though, only apply to some of the company’s workers. In a blog post last Tuesday, the San Mateo firm’s founder and CEO David Baszucki told employees they have until mid-January to decide whether they’ll begin working from the office three days a week or leave the company.
To explain the change, Baszucki cited “Zoom fatigue,” as well as concern that early-career workers may miss out on mentorship opportunities without in-office interactions. Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg used similar reasoning when announcing Facebook’s return-to-office plan earlier this year, and his firm has also allowed a chunk of its workforce to stay remote.
