Microsoft Delays Full Headquarters Reopening to Undetermined Future Date

Microsoft Corp. is abandoning plans to fully reopen its headquarters and other U.S. sites early next month and won’t set a new date, for now, given uncertainty around Covid-19.

“We’ve decided against attempting to forecast a new date for a full reopening of our U.S. work sites in favor of opening U.S. work sites as soon as we’re able to do so safely based on public health guidance,” the software giant said in a blog post. Instead, Microsoft said it would move to a 30-day “transition period” approach and notify staff with lead time when offices are slated to generally reopen.
