Gov. Gavin Newsom issued an executive order Monday, directing state workers who fall under his jurisdiction back into offices four days a week by July 1.

State workers said the decision, which Newsom claims was to improve collaboration and mentorship among colleagues, undercuts the progress the state has made to adapt a hybrid work environment, which many said is more productive than working primarily from the office.
