00:00AT&T is demanding that employees return to the office five days a week.

00:03It's a big switch up from the company's previous stance,

00:06which required employees to be in the office three days a week.

00:09AT&T said they wanted workers back in office to drive collaboration,

00:12innovation, and better position us for long-term success.

00:16And staff who are looking for flexibility from the C-suite might be disappointed.

00:21CEO John Stanky says 85% of workers already live near one of the AT&T offices.

00:26And the remaining 15% will have to make decisions that are appropriate to their lives.

00:31The RTO move is similar to the one Amazon made back in September

00:34as more companies pushed for in-office attendance.

00:37While AT&T consolidated its offices, the company insists there will be enough

00:41space for workers to return, telling Fortune we always adapt our workforce.
