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 (Sep 16) posted to its website.

Companies have been allowing many employees to work from home since the pandemic, leaving downtown offices nearly empty in a number of cities such as San Francisco and Seattle. However, some tech firms are beginning to mandate employees to return to their offices two or three days per week. And some employees who were consistently out of compliance with the existing three-day mandate were told they were"voluntarily resigning", and were locked out of Amazon's systems. A spokesperson for Amazon did not immediately respond to say whether the new mandate will be as stringent, nor did an employee Q&A shared with Reuters on Monday make it clear.
