Deep dives

Amazon's Return to Office Strategy

Amazon's CEO has ordered all employees to return to the office five days a week, signifying a shift back to pre-pandemic work styles. This decision marks a move to mitigate issues stemming from remote work, as the CEO suggests that the hybrid model may have failed. Furthermore, the company faces internal challenges with bureaucracy, as CEO Andy Jassy pointed out that Amazon has too many managers. He aims to improve operational efficiency by raising the ratio of individual contributors, likening the desired shift to the dynamic between Tom Brady as an individual contributor and Bill Belichick as a manager.
