- Exceptions will be made for emergencies and specific projects requiring isolation.
- The company will end hot-desking in the US but continue it in Europe, affecting its 1.5 million employees.
- Amazon's strict policy contrasts with other tech companies like Google, which require only three days of in-office work.

Next update by Andy Jassy: After long deliberation S-Team has decided, only 2 cups of water and 1 cup of coffee per day. This will improve innovation and collaboration, by reducing bathroom breaks. Since you will now use less water flushing, it will meet our sustainability goals too, mitigating the pollution you cause by coming to office daily.
Is this really true? I work with Amazon , but haven’t heard such a news yet or am I living in isolation 😅
