Amazon.com Inc. is asking employees to work from the office at least three days a week, scrapping a prior policy that had left such decisions to senior managers.  

The mandate takes effect on May 1, Chief Executive Officer Andy Jassy said in a memo to employees and posted on Amazon’s corporate blog. Jassy said there would be exceptions — including for some sales and customer support jobs, “but that will be a small minority.”
