Uber raised its in-office requirement to three days and changed the eligibility for its month-long paid sabbatical benefit.

CEO Dara Khosrowshahi defended the policy changes against feisty employees who peppered him with questions and criticism.

Uber said being in person more frequently is better for collaboration, innovation and company culture.

Uber will report its first quarter financial results Wednesday .

The goal of anchor days is "to get as many people in the office as possible," Khosrowshahi said.

Uber is adding 700,000 square feet of office space between its San Francisco Mission Bay and Seattle offices.

The additional space will go toward more meeting rooms and cafeterias, said Krishnamurthy .
