Instagram chief orders staff back to office 5 days a week: report

Instagram will reduce meetings and increase product prototypes to boost creativity and speed decision-making as US employees return to five-day office work, Meta said.

  • On February 2, 2026, Adam Mosseri, Instagram chief, ordered most U.S. staff with assigned desks to return five days a week, the memo first reported by the Sources newsletter and Business Insider.
  • Framed in the memo, the change aims to make Instagram more nimble, as the memo `Building a Winning Culture in 2026` stresses in-person work fosters creativity amid competition.
  • Operationally, leaders must cancel unnecessary recurring meetings every six months and prioritize product prototypes over slide decks while capping strategy documents at three pages, Mosseri wrote.
  • Fully remote employees will remain remote with some work-from-home flexibility, while New York office returns may be delayed due to space constraints and Menlo Park staff could transfer to San Francisco.
  • Following industry peers like Amazon, the move echoes wider trends as Mosseri will discuss the changes at the next All Hands, noting `2026 is going to be tough, as was 2025, but I'm excited about our momentum and our plans for next year`.
