Amazon is instructing corporate staffers to spend five days a week in the office, CEO Andy Jassy wrote in a memo on Monday. The decision marks a significant shift from Amazon's earlier return-to-work stance, which required corporate workers to be in the office at least three days a week. Amazon's headcount totaled 1.53 million employees in the second quarter, representing growth of just 5% from a year earlier. If anything, the last 15 months we've been back in the office at least three days a week has strengthened our conviction about the benefits. Before the pandemic, not everybody was in the office five days a week, every week.

A group of Amazon employees is urging CEO Andy Jassy to reconsider a recent return-to-office mandate. Last week, Jassy announced Amazon would require corporate staffers to spent at least three days a week in the office beginning May 1. Staffers on Friday created a Slack channel to advocate for remote work and share their concerns about the new return to work policy, according to screenshots viewed by CNBC. Amazon hasn't addressed whether remote employees will be asked to relocate, beyond Jassy noting that there will be "a small minority" of exceptions to the new policy.

What Wall Street is saying Piper Sandler called out Club stocks Alphabet (GOOGL) and Amazon (AMZN) as top buys. As a result, Snapchat (SNAP) and Club name Meta Platforms (META) can now only track your activity outside of their own apps if you allow it. Piper analysts note that year-over-year comps for Amazon will be easier in 2023 than they were last year.
