Amazon CEO doubles down on return-to-office policy, warns resistant remote workers "it's probably not going to work out"
- Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said during an employee Q&A that workers need to "disagree and commit" to the mandated return-to-office policy of at least 3 days per week.
- Jassy justified the policy by claiming in-person work is more effective, but did not provide concrete data to support this assertion.
- The CEO suggested that employees unwilling to comply with the return-to-office mandate should consider finding jobs elsewhere.
- The new policy marks a shift for Amazon, which previously allowed more remote work flexibility before requiring office return in February 2023.
- Jassy's hardline stance comes amid broader pushback from employees, including protests and walkouts over return-to-office requirements.
