Amazon mandates five days a week in office starting next year

Sept 16 (Reuters) – Amazon.com will require employees to return to working at company offices five days per week beginning next year, toughening a prior three-day mandate.

The change is necessary to “invent, collaborate and be connected” wrote CEO Andy Jassy in a letter to employees on Monday posted to its website. He said the experience of a three-day mandate “strengthened our conviction about the benefits” of in-office work.
