Amazon will require corporate employees to work in the office at least three days a week starting in May.

  • Amazon employees will be required to return to offices at least three days a week starting in May.
  • On Friday, Amazon CEO Andy Jassi announced a change in corporate staff.
  • Jassi mentioned improving the chances of communicating, innovating and learning from each other in offices.

Amazon corporate employees will be required to spend at least three days a week working in offices starting in May, CEO Andy Jassi said in a memo released Friday.

Yassy said the decision was made by himself and Amazon’s “team” of senior management this week and will allow employees to more openly collaborate and communicate with each other, working more in person.

“I know it will take some time for some employees to adjust to the new way of working again,” Yassi wrote in a Friday note. “But I am very optimistic about the positive impact this will have on how we serve and invent on behalf of customers and the growth and success of our employees.”

The new policy marks a significant departure from Yassy’s previous comments, as he said during a panel in September 2022 that the e-commerce giant has no plans to require employees to return to offices. At the time, Yassi said, most employees had a hybrid schedule that was determined by individual managers.

“We don’t have a plan to require people to come back,” he said at the event, according to CNBC. “Not now. We will act adaptively as we learn.”

He continued: “I really think there are things that are harder to do remotely. I think remotely inventing is a little more difficult.”

In October 2021, Yassy approved a plan similar to the one announced on Friday that would have employees return to offices amid the pandemic, but instead let individual teams decide when their workers needed to be in the offices.
