HCL Technologies asks employees to work from office 3 days to avoid pay cut

HCL Technologies has mandated all employees of its Digital Foundation Services (DFS) division to work in the office at least three days a week starting from February 19. This decision comes as more tech companies are moving away from remote work and advocating for office-centered models to promote teamwork and in-person interactions. Senior managers and leadership teams in DFS will also adopt a hybrid work model, and non-compliance with the guidelines may lead to disciplinary action. HCL's DFS division has 80,000 employees.
