AMAZON STAFF TO GO BACK PERMANENTLY

The end for the work from home concept seems to be coming to an end for a lot of employees around the world. And Amazon is next.

“We’ve decided that we’re going to return to being in the office the way we were before the onset of Covid”, adding that it would help staff be “better set up to invent, collaborate, and be connected enough to each other”.

This was the message from Amazon’s chief executive Andy Jassy in a memo distributed to staff.

After Covid, the work-from-home feature was the norm but it seems as if companies are starting to get their employees back to the office.

Some companies are still offering their employees the chance to work from home a few days a week.

Amazon has decided to end that policy with the announcement that all employees will be required to go back to the office full-time.

Last year, employees at the company’s headquarters in Seattle staged a protest when employees were asked to go back to the office three days a week.

But, Jassy has other plans and the company’s culture are being diluted by flexible work and too many bureaucratic layers.
