Amazon CEO Tells Employees They’ll Need to Be in the Office Five Days a Week: ‘We Want to Operate Like the World’s Largest Startup’
Starting in 2025, Amazon expects employees to report to the office five days per week, CEO Andy Jassy wrote in a companywide memo.
“We want to operate like the world’s largest startup,” Jassy wrote, and among other things that entails “deeply connected collaboration” in which employees “need to be joined at the hip with your teammates when inventing and solving hard problems.” Previously, as part of its return-to-work policies after the pandemic subsided, starting in May 2023 Amazon required employees to be in the office at least three days a week. In his 1,400-word memo Monday, Jassy also said that to achieve greater efficiencies and speed decision-making, the company is asking each s-team organization to increase the ratio of individual contributors to managers by at least 15% by the end of Q1 2025.
