After implementing a return-to-office plan in May, Amazon’s CEO Andy Jassy is calling on staff to follow it.
The e-commerce giant confirmed to CNN that Jassy told employees during an internal event earlier this month to get on board with the company’s return-to-office plan or to consider employment elsewhere.
He noted that workers are entitled to disagree with the policy and to criticize it, but they can’t disregard it.
Jassy’s comments come after Amazon sent some employees an email — informing them that the company knew they weren’t badging into their respective offices as often as required.

Amazon has been met with resistance from staff after implementing its return-to-office plan.
In May, hundreds of corporate employees staged a walkout in protest of the policy — calling the company’s approach a “rigid, one-size-fits-all” mandate.
If Amazon allowed you to work remotely as a temporary measure during the COVID-19 pandemic, but your employment contract requires you to work in the office, then the e-commerce giant can instruct you to resume in-office work.
This includes non-unionized individuals working full-time, part-time, or hourly in Ontario, Alberta, and B.C.
