About this tag
The three-day-rto tag covers Microsoft's return-to-office policy requiring many employees to work from the office at least three days a week. Discussions on WindowsForum.com highlight how this mandate is part of a broader internal reset that includes tighter controls on employee speech, increased campus security, and a strategic push into artificial intelligence. The policy is being phased in, starting with the Redmond campus, and represents a shift from Microsoft's earlier hybrid work model. Threads also note the closure of internal forums and an outside review of cloud contracts as related changes.
