Amazon tells staff to get back to office five days a week

Quick Summary:

The e-commerce giant is ending hybrid working and will stop people hot-desking in the US.

Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds told the Times newspaper that the government wants to end the "culture of presenteeism", and said there were "real economic benefits" to people working from home.

In his message on Monday, Mr Jassy said he was worried that Amazon - which has long prided itself on preserving the intensity of a start-up while growing to become a tech giant - was seeing its corporate culture diluted by flexible work and too many bureaucratic layers.
