موظفو أمازون يعودون إلى مكاتبهم

By Duncan Mil

September 17, 2024 - تطلب شركة البيع بالتجزئة عبر الإنترنت من موظفيها العودة إلى المكتب خمسة أيام في الأسبوع بدءاً من كانون الثاني (يناير) حين تُنهي سياسة العمل الهجين - إذ سُمح للموظفين سابقاً بالعمل من المنزل أثناء أزمة كوفيد.

The shakeup, announced in a memo to employees by Chief Executive Officer Andy Jassy on Monday (September 16, 2024), echoed what some company veterans have been saying: It’s become more challenging to get things done at Amazon.

In a letter to staff, Jassy highlighted the “significant” advantages of working together in the office, stating that it is easier for employees to learn, collaborate, and invent when they are physically present and that teams tend to be better connected.

“When we look back over the last five years, we continue to believe that the advantages of being together in the office are significant,” Jassy wrote.

“Before the pandemic, it was not a given that folks could work remotely two days a week, and that will also be true moving forward,” Jassy added.

The retail giant previously required staff to be in the office at least three days a week for the past fifteen months.
