As reported by the New York Times, TikTok, owned by Chinese company ByteDance, told its employees in the United States that they are joining the many other.
Tiktok has introduced a tool for tracking office attendance and threatened disciplinary action for staff failing to comply with new in-person mandates.
TikTok requires many of its roughly 7,000 U.S. employees to work in offices three times a week beginning in October. Some teams are expected in five days a week. Employees were told that "any deliberate and consistent disregard may result in disciplinary action" and could "impact on performance reviews."
