Roblox requires telecommuters to either stay on duty for three days or leave the company.

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen Alejandro86 for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com, Oct. 19 (Xinhua) David Baszucki, CEO of Roblox, a famous multiplayer online game company, asked telecommuting employees on Tuesday, local time: by January 16 next year, employees need to decide whether to return to work from Tuesday to Thursday, and if they can't finish it, they have to leave the company after April 15, 2024.

According to reports, employees who choose to continue to work at Roblox will receive relocation subsidies when needed, and they are expected to work in San Mateo's office from July 15, 2024. If the employee "resolutely refuses to return" or is unable to arrive at the post due to various factors, he or she will receive severance compensation and medical insurance for 6 months according to his rank and length of service.

Roblox began the transition to full telecommuting in March 2020, and David Baszucki admitted, "We thought it would only take a few weeks, but it took a few years. But under such special circumstances, I am very impressed that we can still get so much work done." But he says Roblox is an "innovative company" that needs to return to face-to-face work and provide on-site guidance from senior staff to new employees who have just joined the job.

This is an extremely difficult decision because where we live is our personal choice, and it affects all aspects of our lives. We have done everything we can to make the process as systematic and fair as possible. Unfortunately, I know that some employees will decide not to join our headquarters.

However, employees in positions such as data centers and moderators or individuals with special skills or important expertise are not required to work on the job.

CTOnews.com previously reported that Drew Houston, CEO of Dropbox, continues to promote a telecommuting culture and tells other big technology companies that working from home is the way to work in the future.

According to the Houston interview, the company uses 90 per cent of the time of the year for telecommuting and the remaining 10 per cent for a small number of employees working remotely. "you need a different social contract and give up control. But if you trust employees and treat them like adults, they will act like adults and trust is better than surveillance." He added.
