Microsoft Mandates 3 Days in Office from 2025

Medial
Microsoft is planning to implement a new hybrid work policy mandating employees to work at least three days per week from the office, starting early next year. This move signals a departure from the lenient remote work policy in place since 2020, which allowed near-equal remote and office work balance, but saw many employees choosing remote work. This aligns Microsoft with other tech giants like Google, Meta, and Amazon, which have also introduced stricter in-office attendance requirements.

JM Financial Ltd has stated that it will cooperate with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) in its investigation into the public issue of debt securities. This comes after SEBI barred the company from accepting new mandates as a lead manager for these securities due to regulatory violations. While JM Financial can continue with existing mandates for 60 days, SEBI will conduct an investigation into the matter within six months. Just days earlier, the Reserve Bank of India had also barred JM Financial from providing any financing against shares and debentures.

Microsoft to unbundle Office and Teams globally following years-long criticism

Microsoft is releasing a new version of its Microsoft 365 and Office 365 subscription services that will exclude Teams, following regulatory scrutiny from the European Union and complaints from competitor Slack. Last year, Microsoft agreed to sell Office 365 without including Microsoft Teams in the EU and Switzerland. Businesses have argued that Microsoft has an unfair advantage by bundling the two offerings together. Microsoft stated that the unbundling addresses feedback from the European Commission and provides more flexibility for multinational companies. The new Office 365 lineups are set to be introduced soon.

In 2024, tech worker movements surged in response to mass layoffs, stagnant wages, and unpopular return-to-office (RTO) mandates. Labor rights groups supported organizing efforts that included major tech firms like Amazon and Microsoft. The Tech Workers Coalition and others noted the increasing influence of unionized tech workers pushing for better conditions. The unpopular RTO policies potentially contribute to "brain drain," risking top talent loss. Workers use organizing as a tool for advocacy and gaining workplace control.

Microsoft to separate Teams and Office globally amid antitrust scrutiny

Microsoft will now offer its chat and video app Teams separately from its Office product worldwide, following its earlier unbundling in Europe. This move aims to avoid any potential antitrust fines from the European Commission, which has been investigating Microsoft's tying of Office and Teams since a complaint by rival app Slack. While bundling the products together has given Microsoft an advantage, the company believes that offering Teams separately provides more flexibility for multinational companies. Microsoft is introducing new Microsoft 365 and Office 365 packages without Teams outside of Europe, as well as a standalone Teams offering for enterprise customers in those regions.
