The company sold PC division to Company L in 2004. Company I faced declining revenue for 20 consecutive quarters. The CEO GR wants to make the company a cloud-based solutions business, but the competitive business has become a challenge. The company analyzed that they are not able to give good results by working remotely and they want to work together as a team. It is seen that 40% of the workforce of the company works remotely. However, the company gave an ultimatum to its employees that either they work in the office or they leave the job.
