Amazon, Google, and Meta have all tightened their in-office attendance policies in 2025 and 2026. Lucas and Luna break down the specific numbers—Amazon's three-day minimum with badge-data enforcement, Google's attendance tracking tied to performance reviews, Meta's five-day push for senior staff—and explore what this means for engineers' career strategy. They discuss how to negotiate remote exceptions, when to consider relocating, and why some teams are using RTO as a quiet layoff tool. Based on leaked internal memos and public statements, the episode offers concrete advice for engineers weighing compliance vs. exit. The hosts also share how they themselves stay productive amidst shifting workplace norms, and touch on the broader trend of companies using office mandates to reshape their engineering cultures. A must-listen for any FAANG engineer or tech professional facing an RTO deadline in the coming months. #ReturnToOffice #FAANG #RemoteWork #Amazon #Google #Meta #TechCareers #HybridWork #WorkplacePolicy #EngineeringStrategy #CareerAdvice #Layoffs #Negotiation #Relocation #BadgeData #PerformanceReviews #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
