Amazon CEO Andy Jassy recently issued an internal memo reinforcing the company’s return-to-office policy, stating that the office environment before the pandemic should be reinstated. Jassy emphasized that while remote work will be allowed in cases of illness, emergencies, or other specific situations, the standard expectation is for employees to work from the office, barring any approved Remote Work Exceptions.

The memo has sparked controversy, particularly in light of a new trailer for Prime Video’s remake of ‘The Office’.
