Amazon Employees Risk Promotion Opportunities by Ignoring Return-to-Office Mandate

Promotions for non-compliant employees now require vice president's approval, as company faces internal resistance to the policy.

Amazon has warned its employees that not adhering to the company's return-to-office mandate may jeopardize their chances of promotion.
The policy requires employees to be in the office at least three days a week, and promotions for those not in compliance will now require a vice president's approval.
Amazon's managers and human resources team are monitoring compliance as they evaluate an employee's 'promotion readiness'.
Amazon has faced resistance from its employees over this mandate, with some staging a walkout and others signing an internal petition against the requirement.
Despite the pushback, Amazon has not budged on its policy, and CEO Andy Jassy has stated that those who refuse to comply with the return-to-office mandate may not find success at Amazon.
