Boeing wants more workers in the office to ramp up production. Not everyone wants to go back

Boeing has ordered some of its remote workforce back to the office to help the company ramp up production and fix supply-chain problems. But like many employers navigating the pandemic as it winds down, the aerospace giant is getting pushback from workers who resent giving up their “home” offices when other colleagues don’t have to.

Employees in Boeing’s parts-procurement operations who are still working fully or partly remotely learned last week that most will be required to be in the office full time starting in July, Boeing confirmed on June 25.
