Stupid move IMO. Most commutes cost workers an hour or 2 a day...not to mention the automobile expenses and danger in traffic.

Going to the office can't improve collaboration in the nascent world of VR.

They probably have few people abusing the system so instead of cracking down on the slackers they are going to take the cowardly way out and end it.

Not unless your hyper security requires a intranet setup. Networking from home is ok if you are writing a cookbook.. but advanced tech, probably safer inside. Maybe Hillary is getting hired there and they have to publish the rules in crayola.
