“Amazon is ending its hybrid work policy and ordering staff back to the office five days a week. The change will go into effect in January, boss Andy Jassy said in a memo to staff announcing the new rule. He said he believed the move would help staff be ‘better set up to invent, collaborate, and be connected enough to each other.’ Mr Jassy has long been known as a sceptic of remote work, but Amazon staff were previously allowed to work from home two days a week. The company’s push to get its corporate staff back into the office has been a source of tension within the company, which employs more than 1.5 million people globally …. Staff at its Seattle headquarters staged a protest last year as the company tightened the full remote work allowance that was put in place during the pandemic.” (09/16/24)
