Amazon CEO Andy Jassy announced that corporate employees must return to the office five days a week starting January 2, 2025.

Previously, employees were required to be in the office three days a week.

Jassy cited the benefits of in-office work, such as cultural integration, collaboration, and efficiency.

This change follows similar moves by companies like SAP, AT&T, and Dell, which are scaling back remote work.

Even remote work pioneer Zoom has begun calling employees back part-time.

The policy allows exceptions only under extenuating circumstances or with managerial approval.
