The days of working from bed in your pajamas are over for Amazon’s corporate employees. Amazon CEO Andy Jassy on Monday said the company will return to having employees in the office five days a week, beginning in January.

“We’ve decided that we’re going to return to being in the office the way we were before the onset of COVID,” Jassy said in a message shared with employees. “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 — who replaced Amazon founder Jeff Bezos as chief executive in 2021 — said the company operates better when employees are in the office together.
