Amazon pauses construction on Arlington headquarters -
John Schoettler, Amazon’s real estate chief, on Friday said the decision to delay the groundbreaking of the second phase of the enormous new campus in Arlington does not mean the company is pulling out. The first phase remains on schedule to open in June, he said.
Amazon’s decision to pause construction comes two months after CEO Andy Jassy announced layoffs of 18,000 employees who were hired rapidly early in the pandemic, as part of a broader cost-saving initiative. Amid the job cuts, Amazon has urged its employees to come back to the office. Last month, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said the company would require corporate employees to return to the office at least three days a week, a shift from from the prior policy that allowed leaders to make the call on how their teams worked. The change, which will be effectively on May 1, has ignited some pushback from employees who say they prefer to work remotely.
