Amazon orders workers back into the office 5 days a week | Yahoo Australia

The tech giant said it will be mandating five days a week in the office starting from January 2.

In a message to employees, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said the company would be returning to its pre-pandemic office requirements, stating “we continue to believe that the advantages of being together in the office are significant.”

Jassy noted it was easier for staff to learn, collaborate and brainstorm in the office, and allowed the company to “strengthen” its culture and teams to be “better connected to one another”.

Workers will be expected to be in the office unless there are “extenuating circumstances”, such as caring for a sick child or a household emergency, or if they’ve requested exceptions from senior leadership. Jassy said it will no longer be “a given” for staff to work remotely.
