In CEO Andy Jassy's memo, he stated, 'We've decided that we're going to return to being in the office the way we were before the onset of covid.' He emphasized the importance of office presence, citing that the last 15 months of a hybrid model has reinforced their belief in its benefits.
Jassy clarified that while employees need to return to the office, exceptions for work-from-home arrangements will still exist in certain situations: 'We won't require employees to be in the office when dealing with a sick kid or a house emergency.' This suggests an understanding of the challenges faced by staff.
Addressing company structure, Jassy announced plans to increase the ratio of individual contributors to managers by at least 15 percent by Q1 2025. While he stated the changes would be made thoughtfully, he acknowledged that fewer managers would streamline operations: 'Having fewer managers will remove layers and flatten organizations more than they are today.'
