Amazon has asked its employees across the company to return to main offices. The move has been taken to bring back the workers to the office in person.

According to the sources, managers have been directed to ask their staff, who are working from small offices or working from remote locations that they have to move to the offices in the main cities or main hub offices such as Seattle, New York, or San Francisco.

Although the company doesn’t have an exact definition for the hub office and determines it based on team-by-team. The communication to the staff says that they have a certain amount of time to move back to their main hubs where their bosses and teams are located, even if they live close to the Amazon office they can work.

“There’s more energy, collaboration, and connections happening since we’ve been working together at least three days per week, and we’ve heard this from lots of employees and the businesses that surround our offices. We continue to look at the best ways to bring more teams together in the same locations, and we’ll communicate directly with employees as we make decisions that affect them,” the company spokesperson said.

However, the number of employees who will get affected by this move is not clear yet.

Apart from this, Amazon has also introduced a new office work policy, which requires the employee to work three days a week in-person which resulted in tension after the layoffs last year.

The morale of the employees is not that good since the layoffs last year, which affected over 27,000 workforces. The layoffs affected employees across all levels and functions in the United States, Europe, and India.
