Jessica Cruz, who has driven for Meta for five years, told MarketWatch that the shuttle bus she drives from Menlo Park to San Francisco and back used to be full, with about 60 passengers. Had a combined shuttle fleet of 1,600, which brought in employees from all over the Bay Area and beyond. According to a Joint Venture Silicon Valley survey of eight large tech companies in 2019, Facebook, Genentech, Google Prepandemic, tech shuttles proliferated in the Bay Area. The fate of tech shuttles - once ubiquitous in the Bay Area - is now in question as new coronavirus pandemic norms include remote and flexible work.

That is roughly in line with the latest data from Kastle Access Control Systems, the card key-entry company, which says that about 40% of office workers are going into the office in the San Francisco and San Jose metro areas. And that number would be much higher than what appears to be happening in the region as a whole.Īccording to the Bay Area Council, which has been surveying about 200 employers in the region monthly about their return-to-office plans since last year, about 37% of employees were going into the office two or three days a week as of September.

The spokeswoman added: “Since returning to office, we’ve adjusted on-site services and amenities, including transportation, to better reflect the needs of our hybrid workforce.” “These hybrid shifts are hurting good union jobs,” she said.Īsked what percentage of its employees are regularly going into the office, a Meta spokeswoman said this week that “75% of teams are working across multiple locations,” though she wouldn’t share more specific information by location or number of days in the office. She added that other companies have made some cuts, “but nothing like what we are seeing at Meta.” “This is mass layoffs across the board for Meta,” said Stacy Murphy of Teamsters Local 853. ![]()
