In a surprising turn of events, Farmers Group, an insurance company, has seen a significant backlash from its employees following a decision to reverse its remote work policy, The Wall Street Journal reports.

Last year, the company had informed its staff that most of them would be working remotely, leading many to make significant lifestyle changes such as selling cars, moving cities, or expanding home offices.

However, the company’s new CEO, Raul Vargas, announced last month that the majority of employees would be required to be in the office three days a week.

This decision has sparked outrage among employees, with over 2,000 negative comments and angry emojis posted on the company’s internal social media platform. Some employees have even threatened to quit or called for unionizing. Despite the backlash, Vargas stands by his decision, emphasizing the importance of in-office work for collaboration, creativity, and innovation.
