Amazon to Allow Employees to Work Remotely Indefinitely
According to a blog posted on Monday, Amazon will allow many technical and corporate employees to continue working remotely indefinitely, as long as they can commute to the office when necessary.
This is different from Amazon’s previous expectations that once the office reopens in January, most employees will need to stay at least three days a week. Monday’s message was signed by Amazon CEO Andy Jassy, who explained that Amazon directors-a title for the company that means an executive overseeing a small number of teams-will have discretion Decide whether to allow teams within their scope of authority to remain remote. “We expect that some teams will mainly continue to work remotely, other teams will work remotely and in some combination in the office, and some teams will decide to let the team mainly work in the office to provide the best service to customers,” Jassy wrote.
“We deliberately do not specify how many days or days-this is determined by the directors and their senior leaders and team.” This new policy, which applies to nearly 60,000 Amazon workers in the Puget Sound area, may exacerbate the anxiety of South Lake Union business owners and further complicate forecasts for the future of the Seattle office market. At the same time, Amazon employees seem to be overwhelmed by the news, and some people say it remains to be seen how many teams will actually be approved for remote work.
Allowing long-term remote work gives Amazon greater flexibility in responding to the national mandate announced by President Joe Biden last month, that is, companies with more than 100 employees must require employees to be vaccinated or regularly tested for coronavirus. Fearing that many warehouse workers may resign in protest, Amazon has been reluctant to require employees to be vaccinated. In the blog post, Jassy thanked Amazon employees who were unable to work remotely during the pandemic “because of their enthusiasm.” It is highly appreciated.
“These employees include the vast majority of Amazon’s more than 1 million employees worldwide, who work in the company’s fulfillment and transportation departments, as well as AWS data centers and physical retail employees. Amazon Washington State has approximately 20,000 employees working in the company’s warehouses. Amazon’s update of its resumption of work policy follows similar moves by other tech giants. Microsoft announced last month that it will postpone the reopening of the office indefinitely; Google has stated that it expects that about 20% of its employees will continue to work full-time remotely.
Even if the tourism industry recovers, the new consensus around remote work may exacerbate the plight of small businesses in downtown Seattle. Recent data from the Seattle Downtown Association shows that only about a quarter of office workers in downtown Seattle have returned to the office.

Tom Holland to star alongside Matt Damon in Christopher Nolan’s next, will juggle that with Spider-Man 4 in 2025
Tom Holland, last seen in Apple TV show The Crowded Room last year, has signed his next with Academy Award-winning filmmaker Christopher Nolan.

Tom signs Nolan’s next
This will mark the first collaboration between Tom and Christopher. While details of his next directorial aren’t known yet, it’s most likely not to have a contemporary setting. It’ll be either set in the past like, his previous film Oppenheimer (2023), or in the future like Interstellar (2014). Matt Damon, who has worked with Christopher in both, has also come on board his next.
Christopher’s next will be co-produced by him and his wife Emma Thomas’ banner Syncopy Inc and Universal Pictures, as the two production houses will team up after the Academy Award-winning blockbuster Oppenheimer last year. Prior to Oppenheimer, Christopher collaborated mostly with Warner Bros before having a fallout post the debacle of Tenet (2020).
Warner Bros then went on to produce Greta Gerwig’s musical satire Barbie, which clashed with Oppenheimer at the box office and even outperformed it globally. Warner Bros offered Christopher a cheque for the fees he waived off for helming Tenet during the pandemic. While Christopher graciously accepted the belated remuneration, he still went on to pitch his next to Warner Bros.
Tom’s busy schedule
Tom didn’t have any release this year. His last outing was Todd Graff’s psychological thriller show The Crowded Room on Apple TV last year. He’ll juggle the filming of Christopher Nolan’s next and Spider-Man 4 in 2025. Tom has been playing the superhero ever since Russo Brothers’ 2016 blockbuster Captain America: Civil War. He’s slipped into the Peter Parker shoes post that for three standalone films and two Avengers movies. Spider-Man 4 will be helmed by Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings director Destin Daniel Cretton.
As Tom’s girlfriend and co-star Zendaya will be busy filming Spider-Man 4 in 2025, she’ll reprise her role of Chani in Denis Villeneuve’s sci-fi spectacle Dune 3 only in 2026. Meanwhile, Tom is also likely to make an appearance as Spider-Man in Russo Brothers’ Avengers: Doomsday, which will go on floors in the spring of 2025.
