Amazon asks employees to return to office five days a week starting next yr

Amazon is asking its corporate staff to return to the office five days a week starting in January, CEO Andy Jassy wrote in a memo on September 16. In his memo, Mr Jassy wrote that he expects the employees to adhere to the new policy beginning January 2, 2025.

According to The Washington Post, before this change, Amazon employees were required to be in the office three days a week.

"When we look back over the last five years, we continue to believe that the advantages of being together in the office are significant," Jassy's note to staff said. "We've observed that it's easier for our teammates to learn, model, practice, and strengthen our culture; collaborating, brainstorming, and inventing are simpler and more effective; teaching and learning from one another are more seamless; and, teams tend to be better connected to one another."
