RIP, remote work

Amazon officially put the kibosh on remote work, announcing that all corporate workers must return to the office five days a week starting in January. In a memo, CEO Andy Jassy said the company was returning to how “we were before the onset of COVID.”

An internal “Frequently Asked Questions” document, obtained by Business Insider, outlined how the RTO plan will work. According to the brief, Amazon also ended a policy that gave employees the option to work up to four weeks per year fully remote.
