Amazon CEO Andy Jassy told employees to get on board with the company's return-to-office plan or to consider employment elsewhere, the company confirmed to CNN, after a report by Insider highlighted Jassy's remarks from a recent internal event.
Jassy's message reflects Amazon's continued pressure on US office staff to comply with a policy requiring them to report to a physical office at least three days a week.
Some people posting to message boards on site likes Reddit and Blind in recent weeks discuss legal rights for employees who say they were hired 12 months earlier as a virtual employee and whether they can be forced to work in an office. According to the remarks Amazon shared with CNN, Jassy responded by saying that the return-to-office policy was more the result of a judgment call based on an assessment of various factors including business results. He added that Amazon had little data to support a policy of indefinite remote work, and that Amazon had to make judgment calls based on limited data in the past.
Separately, the company told CNN that Amazon had all along emphasized that its approach to remote work would evolve along with pandemic conditions.
