Amazon Orders Staff Back to Office Five Days a Week

• Amazon has mandated that staff return to the office five days a week starting next year, one of the strictest post-pandemic policies in the corporate world.
• CEO Andy Jassy emphasized that in-office work enhances learning, collaboration, and cultural integration.
• 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.
