Remote workers 35% more likely to be fired than those who return to office: ‘Out of sight, out of mind’

Everybody, back to work.

As memories of pandemic era workplace norms fade, companies are not only pushing employees back into the office — they’re getting rid of those that won’t.

New data shows that full-time remote workers were 35% more likely to be laid off than their in-office peers in 2023, the Wall Street Journal reported.

Data from Live Data Technologies found that 10% off remote employees were laid off last year, compared to just 7% of in-office or hybrid colleagues.

The results follow last year’s surge of layoffs and a recent wave of job cuts spanning sectors, affecting media outlets like Business Insider, the Los Angeles Times, Pitchfork and Sports Illustrated, commerce sites like Ebay and Wayfair, alongside tech giants like Microsoft.
