Microsoft will let its employees work from home permanently, even once the COVID-19 pandemic is over, according to an internal memo seen by The Verge.

The memo highlights the company’s plans to create a “hybrid workplace.” Microsoft said it will allow employees to work from home freely for less than 50% of their working week, but has said that managers will be able to approve permanent remote work if staff request it. Part-time working hours will also be available for employees with approval from their manager.
