An internal letter criticizing SAP’s back-to-office policy has attracted more than 5,000 signatures in less than two weeks, with the German software company’s employees threatening to look for other jobs rather than return.
“We feel betrayed by a company that until recently encouraged us to work from home, only to ask for a radical change in direction,” according to the letter, which was posted internally and seen by Bloomberg News. The company’s European works council, a group that represents SAP’s employees on the continent, said the requirement to be back in the office was unreasonable after employees had been told they could continue remotely.
