All employees at The Post will be expected to return to the office by June 2. Managers must be back in the office full time by Feb. 3.

Employees at The Washington Post will be expected to work from the office five days a week next year, according to a new memo from the newspaper’s chief executive, the latest crackdown on pandemic-era remote work policies.

All employees at The Post will be expected to return to the office by June 2, according to a memo from William Lewis, The Post’s chief executive. Managers must be back in the office full time by Feb. 3.

The new policy at The Post — which is owned by the Amazon founder Jeff Bezos — mirrors a similar edict announced by the e-commerce giant in September. In a memo to Amazon employees, Andy Jassy, the company’s chief executive, said that in-person collaboration allowed Amazon to move fast and retain its culture.

The new policy at The Post could add to recent turmoil at the company, after Mr. Bezos’ decision to end the paper’s tradition of endorsing presidential candidates. That decision set off a wave of subscription cancellations and a rare rebuke from some of its top current and former journalists.
