Sources and how sure we are.
UnconfirmedReporting is thin, old or conflicting. Treat it as a lead, not a fact.The policy hasn't been confirmed for 2026: the newest primary report is from October 2023, and two third-party trackers (Archie and Buildremote) still list 4 days without citing a 2025-2026 source. An undated anonymous Blind post mentioned rumors of 5 days, which nothing has confirmed. The April 2022 date is approximate (Fortune says 'spring 2022').

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.
