NBCUniversal Orders Four-Day Return to Office
NBCUniversal is requiring hybrid employees to return to the office four days per week beginning January 5, 2026.
The new mandate, announced in a memo from Chief Operating Officer Adam Miller, applies to staff across NBCUniversal’s U.S. operations. Employees will be required to work onsite Monday through Thursday, with Fridays remaining flexible.

Leadership’s Take On RTO
“We are better when we are together,” Miller wrote. “In-person work and collaboration spark innovation, promote creativity, and build stronger connections.”
The memo framed 2026 as a pivotal year, pointing to NBC’s centennial celebrations and coverage of major events such as the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics, the Super Bowl, and the FIFA World Cup.
For context, Comcast, NBCU’s parent company, mandated four in-office days starting in September 2023. Just last week, Paramount Skydance announced a stricter five-day RTO starting January 2026, offering severance to those who refuse.
