Good Morning,

And May the Fourth be with you.

Fidelity announced all 80,000 of its employees must work from the office five days per week beginning this fall.

Ignore Inc’s “Is this the start of a new RTO wave” subheader. You should know by now what remote work clickbait looks like 😂

Fidelity was already operating with a hybrid model, so this may not cause large-scale employee relocations, but it is certainly, as one Boston.com reader put it, “incredibly disruptive.”
