TikTok is requiring US employees to return to office work full time on a five-day schedule starting in September, according to multiple reports. The policy is part of a broader return-to-office push affecting technology companies.
NDTV and Business Insider both report that teams are being told to work from the office five days a week rather than on a hybrid basis. Business Insider frames the move as similar to return-to-office requirements at other major firms, noting the change begins next month.
Mint adds additional context, saying that earlier communications included guidance for departments such as product, marketing, and advertising sales to prepare for a full return to office work in 2026. Taken together, the coverage suggests TikTok is moving toward more frequent in-person work in phases, with the immediate change focused on a five-day office schedule in the US starting in September.
