Amazon has officially announced the end of their full-time work-from-home policy for corporate employees, according to an announcement from CEO Andy Jassy Friday morning.

Employees will soon be required to spend at least three days a week working from the office, according to a memo from Jassy shared with Amazon employees.

According to Jassy, working remotely full-time had impacted company culture and made it harder to collaborate on important innovations.

“It’s easier to learn, model, practice, and strengthen our culture when we’re in the office together most of the time and surrounded by our colleagues,” Jassy wrote. “It’s especially true for new people (and we’ve hired a lot of people in the pandemic); but it’s also true for people of all tenures at Amazon. When you’re in-person, people tend to be more engaged, observant, and attuned to what’s happening in the meetings and the cultural clues being communicated.”

1. They've all got remote side gigs, how many will return?

Someone posted this week that there's no growth remaining in Amazon, or at least no profitability because they will spend gazillions defending every location against unionization. Dunno if there's any truth to it, but though to throw it out there.

2. Two remote days per week would be a luxury for most American workers nt
