"We’re always evaluating space plans to make sure they fit our business needs and to create a great experience for employees," John Schoettler, vice president of Global Real Estate and Facilities at Amazon, told ABC News in a statement. Amazon has faced a challenging business environment after strong performance during the pandemic, when customers stuck at home came to rely on delivery services.
