Amazon CEO Andy Jassy has unequivocally told employees that non-compliance with the company’s return-to-office mandate “is probably not going to work out for you.”
Business Insider reports that in a recent internal meeting, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy made it abundantly clear that employees who do not adhere to the company’s return-to-office policy should consider other employment options. “It’s past the time to disagree and commit,” Jassy said during the meeting. “And if you can’t disagree and commit, it’s probably not going to work out for you at Amazon.”
The directive requires Amazon employees to be in the office at least three days a week. This policy took effect on May 1, despite significant pushback from the workforce. In March, approximately 30,000 Amazon workers signed a petition urging Jassy to rescind the mandate. However, the CEO stood firm on his decision, stating that employees who are not willing to comply should “seek employment else

Pandemic coming!
COVID is back!
Mask up!
New vaccine — get your shot!
Quick! — Everybody go back to the office!
Something isn’t adding up.
I’m retired now but I spent over 10 years working from home and traveling, when necessary, I was a network engineer installing new network equipment all over the country.
After all that, I was not interested in any new contract job that required me to go to an office every day.
Once people get used to working from home, it becomes really difficult to go to an office every day, some will go along with Amazon, others will seek jobs elsewhere and others will be miserable at the office every day.
Imagine telling your employees with a straight face that the company has been operating just fine for the last 3+ years with everyone working from home … but it’s essential for them to come back to the office now. LOL.
The CEO’s brought this on themselves and now they can’t put the Genie back in the bottle.
Amazon Dude did not get the memo about Covid-19 Election Variant Bad-23. Stay home, wear masks, get helicopter money, and vax like crazy, is what he should be saying. Oh and buy Pfizer Stock, Brandon buying all inventory to give max vax for free!

When they come back to the office, at least make sure you don’t further harass them by putting “Men” or “Women” on the rest rooms. These rest rooms should be open to anyone who identifies as either.
Maybe the companies have not been functioning just fine with people not being in the office.
Depending on the structure of a job, and how much you need to collaborate with others, work from home may not work so well. Not all jobs are structured to have people sit there on a computer or do zoom meetings all day long.
I was an in house network engineer. Worked with many, many field engineers doing installs, turn ups and trouble shooting. Usually the only time I got to work from home was when I was on call. I'd get the proverbial midnight wake up to work an outage. Those of us that did that work had company laptops with VPN access. Couldn't burn time traveling to an office. It was out of bed, boot up, login, get on a conference call and have at it. I worked at several major ISPs and it was same at all of them.
Most of the field techs were the same as you. Traveled a lot and were never home anyway. ;O)
Good news for us Gex X’ers. We have no problem working in an office.
>Something isn’t adding up.
There’s 0% chance of spreading COVID-mailin-fraud-2024 if people work remote. Gotta cram the proles together to ensure transmission.
I don’t disagree with you, but that’s something these dopes should have thought about in March 2020. That’s what I did.
OMG! That's tantamount to SLAVERY!!
I was a contractor the entire time I was working from home, my longest contract was with Bank of America working thru EDS and then HP when they bought out EDS.
The team I was on installed the foundational Cisco Voice system for BofA, which consisted of voice routers with PRI circuits, switches to support everything, Cisco Servers running Call Manager, Unity Voice Mail and Emergency Responder, plus all the phones and devices to handle all the analog devices like fax machines, overhead pagers, etc., later when BofA bought out Merrill Lynch and Countrywide Mortgage, we rolled into that and converted them to Cisco Voice. The sites we converted were considered enterprise sites with anywhere from 50-100 phones to one site that had over 8000 phones.
After that project finally finished up after over 10 years, I was hired as a Senior Consultant for a company called Forsyth Solutions Group doing basically the same thing for KPMG accounting firm and Capital One Bank. This job required 60-75% travel, the money was fantastic but all the travel wears on you, especially when you are well over 50 years old.
Prior to that and the last office job I had was working as a contractor that provided a Cisco TAC for customers with support contracts to call in for installation support. Back then our group supported Frame Relay, ISDN PRI and BRI circuits, and other basic router configurations.
We now have meetings that are back to back that previously would have been on separate days due to travel in between different offices. With our thinner staffing due to retirements and departures, we can't afford to become grossly inefficient again.
We've also digitized processes that previously took weeks but now take just a few days. Every step in the process is visible. The company can't afford to regress backwards just because a few incompetent bosses can't run their operations as some companies have already been doing for decades.
Our company, and several of our peers, have also decided not to renew office leases, saving a large chunk of money every month, and making us more competitive in the bidding process.
Amazon wants people back in the office, not to do a better job, but because they need to staff them for the tax credits they got to build them. Amazon, like Apple, wanted their own iconic buildings as part of their "brand" when they should have instead been looking at remote work starting back in the 1990s.
Amazon in particular fled Portland after the port closed and should have been much more tuned into flexibility over fixed structures subsidized by taxpayers.
They want people back in the office because they found how useless most managers actually are.
It’s a fishing tactic, hook ‘em, reel ‘em in a bit, let them play out some, reel em back in, lather, rinse and repeat. People get discouraged but also get more compliant.
True, but some of us aren’t dumb enough to BOHICA when the globalist masters scree.
When that gang “decides” something together it’s a) not their idea and b) not good for anyone.
I hope you feel guilty of robbing the restaurants, coffee shops, parking garages, cleaners, bars, panhandlers, muggers, tollways, police, etc. of their rightful claims on your earnings.
I’m not sure what you are talking about.
