Amazon drops the hammer on remote work and orders employees back to office 5 days a week starting January

Amazon is shutting the door on remote work.
In a memo to employees on Monday, CEO Andy Jassy said the company will require corporate workers to be in-office five days per week starting in January.
"We've decided that we're going to return to being in the office the way we were before the onset of COVID," he said.
The rule further tightens the requirement from last year that workers be on-site at least three days a week.
"If anything, the last 15 months we've been back in the office at least three days a week has strengthened our conviction about the benefits," Jassy said.
Jassy also said the company will flatten its org-chart by the end March 2025, with a 15% increase of individual contributors assigned to each manager.
