General Motors Co. is calling workers back to the office, ending Chief Executive Officer Mary Barra’s “Work Appropriately” policy that gave people flexibility to stay home during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Barra sent a memo to staff Tuesday saying employees must commute into GM on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday each week if they live within 50 miles of a GM office, a spokesperson confirmed. Some top executives live out of state and it will be up to Barra if they have to go in to their offices, the spokesperson said.
