Most workers understood that the days of fully remote work ended with the pandemic and that they should show face in the office some of the time. But increasingly, CEOs at major companies are saying even hybrid work won’t cut it anymore.
This month Amazon CEO Andy Jassy announced that all corporate staff must be back in the office five days a week from 2025.
“We continue to believe that the advantages of being together in the office are significant,” Jassy wrote in an internal memo to staff.
Computer maker Dell has just followed suit, changing a requirement that hybrid sales staff be onsite from three days a week to five. Dell execs said it would help the team harness a “high energy” environment and grow staff skills.
Several workers BI spoke to said they suspected the policy would eventually be rolled out companywide. A Dell spokesperson said they wouldn’t speculate on future plans.
