Amazon is instructing corporate staffers to spend five days a week in theoffice, CEO Andy Jassy wrote in a memo on Monday.
The decision marks a significant shift from Amazon's earlier return-to-work stance, which required corporate workers to be in the office at least three days a week. Now, the company is giving employees until Jan. 2 to start adhering to the new policy.
Corporate employees will be expected to be in the office five days a week "outside of extenuating circumstances" or unless they have been granted an exception by their organization's S-team leader, Jassy said, referring to the close-knit group of executives that report to Amazon's CEO.
"Before the pandemic, it was not a given that folks could work remotely two days a week, and that will also be true moving forward our expectation is that people will be in the office outside of extenuating circumstances," Jassy said.
