Companies including JPMorgan, Dell, AT&T, and Amazon have reversed their stance on remote work and called employees back to the office five days a week.

These four people sit at the helm of the world's biggest professional services firms.

These roles have some of the most competitive application processes in the country.

Multiple employees said they heard unofficially from managers that the policy would eventually be rolled out to workers in other departments.

Two Dell employees in human resources told BI that the layoffs would bring the workforce to under 100,000 people, meaning tens of thousands of staff would be let go.

The employees all work in customer services, known at Patagonia as the customer experience (CX) team, and were previously able to work remotely.
