Amazon’s Rushed Return-to-Office Mandate Creates Delay

Amazon may have bitten off more than it can chew with its recent return-to-office mandate, as offices around the country are reportedly ill-prepared to accommodate all those employees by the May deadline.

While studies have shown that remote work has been good for productivity, tech giants have been keen on getting their workers back in the office. Whether it’s because of a fear of change or just commercial real estate prices, these firms have been insistent that remote work cannot continue as it did in the pandemic.

This rush to get employees back in the office appears to be backfiring a bit on Amazon, though, considering that returning to pre-pandemic form is going to take some time.
