The "new normal" will officially end for Amazon employees in 2025.

This week, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy issued a memo announcing that corporate employees will be required to work in the office five days a week starting Jan. 2. The policy change will affect over 350,000 of Amazon's corporate workforce.

"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 in the memo. "We've observed that it's easier for our teammates to learn, model, practice, and strengthen our culture. Collaborating, brainstorming, and inventing are simpler and more effective, teaching and learning from one another are more seamless, and teams tend to be better connected."
