======================================================================

Salesforce is willing to reward workers with a charitable donation for each 
day they work from the office. 

The CRM software companys CEO Marc Benioff has long been vocal about the 
benefits of working from a fixed office, citing significant productivity 
boosts for those who can work collaboratively in person. Benioff specifically 
called out new recruits for performing worse in remote setups, but even so, 
many of the companys workers still prefer to work from home. 

According to a Fortune report, between June 12 and June 24, the company is 
reportedly willing to donate $10 to each workers charity of choice, for each 
day they work from the office. Salesforce office working 

According to the report, a company exec posted the following message to its 
internal Slack channel: 

By showing up in the office (or for events), you're strengthening connections 
and creating a positive wave of change in your community. Are you ready to 
make a real impact by simply showing up? Read more

While workers are not set to directly benefit from the scheme, many will be 
incentivized by their ability to donate a reasonable sum of money to their 
chosen charity without having to be out of pocket. 

Documents seen by Fortune detail the companys plans to raise upwards of $1 
million, with plans to make payments up to $2.5 million. 

 TechRadar Pro asked Salesforce to confirm its plans and share any insight 
into further changes to hybrid working, but the company did not immediately 
respond. 

Despite the clear backpedal on previous statements claiming that office 
working was dead, Benioffs decision to incentivize workers is a welcome move 
to at least attempt to pacify workers. Meanwhile, Amazon workers have been 
protesting against the companys eco-credentials and RTO mandates, while 
Google Cloud workers have been forced to share desks. Still WFH? Here are the
