Uber on Monday informed employees, including some who had been previously approved for remote work, that it will require them to come to the office three days a week, CNBC has found.

Carl Williams | Tech Times

We’ve all suffered from “Zoom Fatigue”—the worn-out sensation that follows too many video conferences—resulting from the increase in remote work. With several factors hastening the abrupt move to remote work, video conferencing platforms such as Zoom have become widely used.
