Snap Inc. Chief Executive Officer Evan Spiegel told employees that he expects them to be in the social media company’s offices in person 80% of the time starting in February.

“I believe that spending more time together in person will help us to achieve our full potential,” he wrote, according to a memo reviewed by Bloomberg. That means an average of four or more days per week in the office for full-time employees, he said -- with some flexibility allowed for work-related tasks such as client meetings to count as in-office time.
