Amazon is saying goodbye to the hybrid working schedule. CEO Andy Jassy said Monday that corporate workers should be in the office five days a week starting Jan. 2. It’s a significant shift from the previous requirement of being in the office three days a week. “Before the pandemic, it was not a given that folks could work remotely two days a week, and that will also be true moving forward â our expectation is that people will be in the office outside of extenuating circumstances,” Jassy said in a memo. Amazon is aiming to streamline its corporate structure and eliminate bureaucracy by having fewer managers in each organization, he said. Also on Monday, hundreds of Amazon delivery drivers at a Queens, New York, facility joined the International Brotherhood of Teamsters in an escalation of organizing efforts.
3. Intel intel

Intel shares soared after hours on Monday as the company unveiled plans to turn its foundry business into an independent unit. It would have its own board and could potentially raise outside capital, Intel said. The restructuring is part of CEO Pat Gelsinger’s plan to turn the chipmaker around and comes as Intel’s stock has lost almost 60% of its value in 2024. The company has spent roughly $25 billion over the past two years on the foundry business, which Intel plans to use to manufacture chips for other customers. Intel also said Monday that it struck a deal with Amazon to produce custom chips for AI. It added that it would pause some efforts in Poland and Germany, but said U.S. manufacturing projects are unaffected.
4. Boeing freezes hiring

Boeing unveiled sweeping cost-cutting measures Monday as it deals with more than 30,000 factory workers in Washington and Oregon who went on strike last week. The manufacturer said it would implement a hiring freeze, put a pause on nonessential staff travel and reduce supplier spending to save money. CFO Brian West also told staff the company would make “significant reductions” to supplier spending and stop most purchase orders for its 737 Max, 767 and 777 jetliners. Boeing is not making funding cuts to safety, quality and direct customer support work, he added.
