Amazon.com Inc. won’t have enough space for thousands of employees when they start returning to the office five days a week next month.

The company recently told some personnel working in at least seven cities — including Austin, Dallas and Phoenix — that their return dates will be pushed back as much as four months, according to people familiar with the situation.
