Amazon.com Inc. says corporate employees won’t have to return to the office regularly until January, becoming the latest big company to postpone its resumption of regular work habits as Covid-19 infections from the delta variant surge in the U.S.
The largest online retailer told employees in an email on Thursday that they should plan to begin coming in to offices the week of Jan. 3. Amazon had previously said its office workers in the U.S. and several other countries should resume their jobs mostly on-site beginning the week of Sept. 7. The postponement was reported earlier by GeekWire.
