The corporation does not intend to call its staff back to work, according to Amazon CEO Andy Jassy.
The business is open to remote and hybrid work.
Amazon announced last year that it would leave it up to specific managers to determine how frequently workers would need to go to physical offices.

According to CEO Andy Jassy, there are no plans to send corporate workers back to work.
At the Code Conference in Los Angeles on Wednesday, Jassy stated, “We don’t have a strategy to demand people to come back.” We don’t at the moment. But as we get more knowledge, we will go forward adaptably.
Due to the rapidly spreading coronavirus, Amazon IT staff received instructions to work remotely in the early months of 2020. Amazon indicated in October that it will leave it up to individual managers to decide how frequently employees would be obliged to travel to the office, contrary to its claimed objective of returning to a “office-centric culture.”
The majority of staff, according to Jassy, have returned to their actual workplaces and are now spending some days working remotely. He said, “Some teams are more likely to be in the office, such hardware or creative divisions, while others, like engineers, continue to operate mostly remotely.”
Jassy conceded that completing some duties remotely was more challenging. “I think remote innovation is a little more challenging,”
According to Jassy, the Covid-19 outbreak may have a long-term impact on how offices are used and has already had an impact on how Amazon hires personnel. For example, he said, Amazon is now more open to remote work and would recruit individuals from everywhere rather than only focusing on areas where it has “critical mass.”
