<p>We dive into Amazon’s recent decision to end its hybrid work policy and require employees to return to the office five days a week. We discuss the impact of this decision on both Amazon employees and the broader tech industry. Is this the beginning of the end for remote work, or will other companies continue to offer flexibility? Join Ryan, Jem, and Stacy as they share their thoughts on Amazon’s move, its implications for talent retention, company culture, and the future of work in tech.</p>
