Thousands of employees at Germany's biggest technology company, SAP, are protesting the firm's return-to-office policy, which mandates that they work from the office three days a week. This policy has sparked a staff rebellion, with employees warning that it could drive away top talent. The issue of remote work is a hot topic among CEOs, who are reading about the return of remote workers to offices more than about social issues, leadership advice, compensation, or company vision. The discontent at SAP is part of a wider trend in the tech industry, with companies like IBM also advocating for a return to the office. Employees at SAP have expressed a sense of betrayal, signing a petition against what they describe as a 'radical' policy U-turn.
