Hi Amazomian, The office reopen time is June 30th. Does eceryone plans to return to office before August? or when does everyone plans to return to office? (I am an upcoming summer intern and the internship start date is May 17th- August 13th. I am still deciding if I should work remotely or onsite for my internship. I hope to understand your estimate return to office time to see if it is worth to choose to work onsite. If most of the people would not be there during the internship time, then it might be better just work remotely for the internship) Thank you for your help and information!
I plan to go in on day 1 and inundate people with email and action items such that they could not possibly do it from home and they begrudgingly start coming in. And once everyone starts coming in I will force the world to go back to normal. And then I'll go on sabbatical
lol, such a manager
I plan going into the office, and see all the covid protocol violations. Report them as an impediment for being in the office.
Email your manager and ask to get team pulse about team returning to office. If you can work remotely, then do it
That’s a great idea! Thank you!
As an intern, if your team plans on being in office, I'd recommend going in for a 2-3 days a week. You cannot learn or make those connections being remote. Managed interns last year. One of the complaints (well it's not really complaints as there's a pandemic) was how difficult for them to make the appropriate connections and get them ready. We have almost a year worth of new employees who have never worked the traditional way
I'll not be going forever, maybe 1/2 times a month
Most of my team has been going in 1-2 times a week since June. However, unlike most groups, we have hardware dependencies
Is it even an option to work from Seattle this year? I assumed Amazon would just keep interns remote again because it saves so much money.
We have options of remote or hybrid. Hybrid means that you could work from the city your assigned office at. You are not expected to come into the office everyday. But you could come into the office once the office reopen.
Yeah in that case I would do it if Amazon is paying for it. Fair warning though it’ll probably be pretty boring because you won’t be able to mqm friends easily like years past when everyone was stuffed into the dorms together. But it will let you see a new city and it’s only 3 months so not the end of the world.
My director said, our org will not compel us to mandatory to come to office. I spoke with her , she said it's up to employee wish even amazon lift the wfh policy
What org are you referring to? If you don’t mind sharing. I could check if my future assigned team match yours
Sorry, can't reveal org name here
