Photograph: Justin Sullivan/Getty ImagesDuring the early months of the pandemic, a certain company went suddenly from relative obscurity to the type of popularity that made it a noun, verb and catchphrase.Revenue for the video conferencing company soared in 2020 — a jump driven by the millions of people who started working from home.
The company last week asked all employees within 50 miles of an office to work in person on a part-time basis, a plan Zoom said it would roll out in August and September. In 2020, participants in daily Zoom meetings leaped to more than 300 million, from 10 million the year before, as it became the most downloaded free iPhone app of the year. But the company has struggled to maintain its pandemic growth.
Dozens of companies have joined Zoom in tightening their policies on office attendance this summer, as offices remain at just under half of pre-pandemic occupancy levels.
