Amazon Allows Remote Work for Stranded India Employees

Amazon Allows Remote Work for Stranded India Employees

Amazon is letting some employees who are stuck in India because of visa problems work from there until early March.

But they can't do certain things like coding, making big decisions, or talking to customers.

This is because of new rules that make it harder to get visas, which has caused delays.

Other big tech companies are also having this problem.

Amazon usually lets employees work remotely for a short time when they're traveling, but this time it's longer because of the visa delays.

The new rules check people's social media, which takes more time.

Amazon uses a lot of these visas, so the delays are a big deal for them.
