Sources and how sure we are.
UnconfirmedReporting is thin, old or conflicting. Treat it as a lead, not a fact.The 3-day figure and the 2025-04-01 date come only from third-party trackers (Buildremote and Flex Index). No J&J memo, press release or major news article has been found, so the announcement date and the 2020-2024 history are unknown.

Working to an office rule? Plan the days that matter.
The hybrid work schedule template builds a week of office days for your team: anchor days everyone shares, the rest spread so the office never overflows. Then Forgot keeps office days, remote days and vacations on one calendar, so nobody commutes in for a planning day half the team is away for.
