Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN) CEO Andy Jassy announced on September 16, 2026, a significant shift in corporate policy, requiring all office--based employees to return to a five--day in--person work week starting January 2, 2027. The mandate is intended to strengthen corporate culture and enhance the "collaboration and invention" that leadership believes are best achieved in person. Accompanying this change is a directive to streamline management layers, with a goal to improve the "span of control" by at least 15% by March 31, 2027. This restructuring is expected to accelerate decision--making and reduce bureaucratic overhead across the organization.
