Amazon is ending remote work almost five years after the COVID-19 pandemic swept and ravaged the nation, as well as the world, and led to many people working from their homes. Starting next year, corporate employees will be required to be back in the office five days a week.

This is the latest update to Amazon’s rules regarding remote work. Last year, the company changed its policy to mandate employees come back to the office at least three days a week.
Amazon has supposedly been marred by an inability to get things done with lots of meetings and layers of approval.
CEO Andy Jassy called out that culture in a note to workers saying, in part, there are “pre-meetings for the pre-meetings for the decision meetings, a longer line of managers feeling like they need to review a topic before it moves forward.”
