Amazon to let corporate employees work from home through June 2021

Source: Seattle Times

Amazon.com will let corporate employees work from home through June 2021, the latest company to push back reopening offices as COVID-19 cases surge again across the U.S.

“We continue to prioritize the health of our employees and follow local government guidance,” an Amazon spokesperson said in an email. “Employees who work in a role that can effectively be done from home are welcome to do so until June 30, 2021.”

In July, the company told its tens of thousands of headquarters employees in Seattle they could work from home until January. Uncertainty around school reopenings — and abrupt closures tied to coronavirus outbreaks — has complicated the return to work for parents of school-aged children.

Alphabet’s Google announced several months ago that it will continue letting employees work from home until July 2021. Facebook, Twitter and Square are among the technology companies that have told some staff members they may move to remote work permanently if they choose.

Brand-new buildings stand empty, and all the supporting bars and restaurants are closing. 9 months ago the place was abuzz with 30,000+ workers coming and going. Now its a trickle.
