Xbox 为雷德蒙德地区员工设定四天办公室规则
XBOX Sets Four-Day Office Rule for Redmond-Area Staff
Xbox 要求雷德蒙德地区 Studio D 50 通勤英里内员工自 2027 年 2 月 1 日起每周至少四天到办公室工作。该备忘录由 Xbox 首席人事官 Jacinda Chislum Pearson 发出，接替 2025 年每周三天到岗要求，旨在提升线下协作与决策效率。
XBOX’s four-day office rule starts February 1, 2027, for Puget Sound employees within 50 commuting miles of Studio D, per a new report.
XBOX chief people officer Jacinda Chislum Pearson issued the memo, which The Verge shared. The memo says the new policy responds to employee feedback and aims to foster more in-person collaboration. The idea is that being in the same vicinity should make reviewing work, resolving problems, and decision-making easier.
XBOX Four-Day Office Rule Applies Within 50 Miles
Microsoft had previously asked its employees to return to the office 3 days a week in 2025. Now, it has increased that requirement by an extra day, citing thousands of employees within commuting distance of Redmond, Washington.
“Starting February 1st, 2027, Xbox employees in Puget Sound who live within 50 commuting miles of Studio D are required to work from the office a minimum of four days a week,” says Jacinda Chislum Pearson, Xbox chief people officer, in the internal memo. “We have thousands of Xbox employees within commuting distance of Redmond. Taking advantage of that proximity and working together in person makes it easier to review work, resolve issues, and make decisions without the burden of scheduling another meeting.”
XBOX continues its reset, hoping it will return to profitability in fiscal year 2027. The next-generation XBOX is codenamed Project Helix. Recent reports suggest the console could cost $1,800. Still, the next major console isn’t expected until at least 2028, though a handheld from Microsoft’s gaming wing may arrive in 2027.
