‘Being Together’
Nearly all of Amazon’s office workers went entirely or mostly remote in spring 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic and associated lockdown orders began.
After the vaccine rollout in 2021, Amazon announced it would let its director-level leaders decide where their team members could work from. In 2023, Jassy announced that Amazon employees would be expected to be working in the office for at least three days a week.
Now, Jassy has decided that the company should return to the way things were before the pandemic.
“We continue to believe that the advantages of being together in the office are significant,” he said. “We’ve observed that it’s easier for our teammates to learn, model, practice, and strengthen our culture; collaborating, brainstorming, and inventing are simpler and more effective; teaching and learning from one another are more seamless; and teams tend to be better connected to one another.”
