Amazon delays return to office to 2022 due to COVID

Amazon has pushed back its return-to-office date for thech and corporate workers until January 2022 as COVID-19 cases surge nationally due to the delta variant.

As we continue to closely watch conditions related to COVID-19, we are adjusting our guidance for corporate employees in the US and other countries where we had previously anticipated our employees would begin coming in regularly the week of September 7, Amazon human resources chief Beth Galetti wrote in an email to employees.

We are now extending this date to January 3, 2022. Microsoft announced earlier this week it was pushing back its office reopening to October and will require employees to be fully vaccinated against the coronavirus to enter the company’s US offices and other worksites.

Amazon continues to encourage employees to receive the vaccine, but will not require it, said spokesperson Jose Negrete.
