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.

Surfaces of the Motorola Edge 50 Ultra with Snapdragon 8S Gen 3
Early this week, renders of the Edge 50 Fusion appeared, and Motorola has previously stated that the Edge 50 Pro will ship on April 3. The highest-end smartphone in the Edge 50 series, the Edge 50 Ultra, has now been shown in renders.
The phone is depicted in the renderings in peach fuzz and black with a vegan leather finish, while sisal, a beige color, will have a brushed surface. As opposed to the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 in the Pro variant and the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 in the Edge 50 Fusion, the phone is reportedly powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 SoC.
A 50MP primary camera, an ultra-wide camera, and a periscope telephoto camera with a 5x optical zoom are all included in the Motorola Edge 50 Ultra’s feature set. Additionally, there is a triple LED flash on the right side and a laser autofocus feature above the periscope lens.
Although the phone’s display, battery, and charging specifications are yet unknown, the Edge 50 Pro is said to include 12GB of RAM and support both 50W and 125W wired and wireless charging.
It is anticipated that this will launch as the Motorola X50 Ultra in China. It is unclear if the India launch may be expected on the same day as the rest of the Edge 50 series phones, even if this is scheduled to go official on April 3.
