Amazon Says Employees Who Don’t , Come to Office 3 Times a Week Can Be Fired.
According to new Amazon manager guidelines,
employees who refuse to work from the office at least
three days a week can now be terminated, 'Fortune' reports. .
Workplace leaders were reportedly told to
have a preliminary meeting with any employee
who doesn't come into the office enough.
If they continue to refuse to come
into the office at least three days a week
after being warned, they can be let go.
If the employee does not demonstrate
immediate and sustained attendance after
the first conversation, managers should
then conduct a follow-up discussion within
a reasonable time frame (depending on
the employee situation, ~1-2 weeks), Via Amazon manager guidelines.
This conversation will 1) reinforce that return
to office 3+ days a week is a requirement
of their job, and 2) explain that continued
non-compliance without a legitimate reason
may lead to disciplinary action, up to and
including termination of your employment, Via Amazon manager guidelines.
Amazon has received continuous pushback over
its return-to-office mandate, 'Fortune' reports.
Over 28,000 Amazon workers belong to a Slack channel called "Remote Advocacy.".
Thousands more signed a petition against returning to the office and staged a walkout in protest. .
But Amazon isn't backing down.
If you can’t disagree and commit,
it’s probably not going to work
out for you at Amazon, Andy Jassy, Amazon CEO, via statement
