Hilton: Is the WFH policy about to get stricter?

Seeing some chatter internally about 'collaborative presence' becoming more mandatory. Does anyone else get the feeling that they’re trying to force people out through attrition rather than doing another round of formal layoffs? It feels like the goalpost for remote work changes every three months. I came to Hilton because I enjoyed the balance, but lately, it feels like they want us back in the office just to sit on Zoom calls all day. If they officially kill the hybrid flexibility, I think I’m out. Has anyone had a frank conversation with their skip-level about long-term remote work expectations? Seems like the company culture is shifting toward a much more traditional, rigid environment than what was promised when I started.

I’ve been hearing the exact same whispers lately. It’s a classic corporate play: make the office environment so inconvenient and rigid that people decide to jump ship voluntarily. Why announce a formal layoff and pay out severance when you can just make the commute unbearable and let attrition handle the headcount reduction? It’s transparent at this point, and frankly, it’s insulting that they expect us to commute just to log onto meetings that could have been handled from a laptop at home.

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if they pull the plug on hybrid work entirely by next quarter. Leadership seems desperate to justify those expensive real estate footprints, regardless of how much it hurts morale or productivity. I joined for the flexibility, but the constant shifting of the goalposts is exhausting. If they force a full-time return, I’m already prepared to update my resume. There are plenty of other companies that actually trust their employees to work without constant physical supervision.
