Other companies, like International Business Machines Corp IBM and Zoom Video Communications, Inc ZM, went aggressive on their remote work policies encouraging employees to spend more time in the office.

Zoom recently urged employees living near an office to report on-site for two days a week.

This trend extends beyond tech companies; even traditional companies like Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc CMG and BlackRock, Inc BLK have increased office attendance requirements.

Despite the pandemic recovery, many employees prefer remote work.

McKinsey Global Institute reported that office attendance is still around 30% below pre-pandemic levels.

Price Action: AMZN shares are trading higher by 0.02% at $138.58 on the last check Friday.
