    Remote worker are probably much cheaper in the long run, but these companies typically lock in long-term leases in commercial real estate. The benefits might not be realized before 5-10 years.

      Most commercial leases are 3-5 years. Even then, why would a CEO tolerate killing productivity to use a resource people don’t need?

        This is probably very country specific. Here, there is no way you’re getting a lease for anything less than 5 years.

          That is the US. Typical leases are 3-5 years. There are longer ones, but they are generally rare.

          Given that Amazon’s policy affects mainly US employees, I assume that is the case with Amazon.
