Amazon.com will require employees to return to the office five days a week starting next year, tightening its previous three-day in-office mandate. CEO Andy Jassy stated that this change is essential for "inventing, collaborating, and staying connected," and noted that the three-day model reinforced the benefits of in-office work. The move contrasts with many companies allowing remote work since the pandemic, leaving some downtown offices underused. While other tech firms have adopted two- or three-day office policies, Amazon’s stricter stance comes as Covid-19 concerns diminish. Some employees have reported being required to work from distant offices or relocate to Seattle.
