They bought a ton of real estate over the years.

Then places like Seattle were literally falling a part without the added cash cow of commuters stuck in bumper to bumper traffic for 16 hours of a workday.

And that commercial real estate is the backing for a LOT of corporate debt. I imagine they're afraid of the collateral against which that debt was borrowed collapsing in value.

Why is that a concern for amazon?

They already know wfh is as good or even better for productivity. This doesn’t see like a move in their best interest
