Summary of Amazon to mandate 5 days a week in office in 2025 | REUTERS
Amazon has announced a mandatory return to the office for employees, requiring them to work five days a week starting in 2025. In a letter from CEO Andy Jassy, he emphasized that remote work will no longer be an option, stating that prior to the pandemic, it was not common for employees to work remotely two days a week, and this will be the expectation moving forward. The company has adopted a stricter policy compared to many of its competitors, as some employees who did not comply with the existing three-day in-office requirement faced consequences, including being locked out of company systems.
The decision comes amidst a backdrop of protests from employees at Amazon's Seattle headquarters, who previously staged a walkout against the return-to-office mandate and changes to the company's climate policy. Additionally, Amazon is discontinuing a program that allowed employees to work remotely for four months each year.
