======================================================================

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy has slated remote workers at the company for their 
reluctance to return to the office. 

According to a recording of an internal meeting obtained by Business Insider 
, Jassy reportedly indicated that those unwilling to comply with the companys 
office mandate should consider searching for work elsewhere. 

Amazon was one of the first companies to implement a widespread 
return-to-office mandate after pandemic restrictions eased, but workers have 
been all but happy with the rulers decisions. Amazon CEO hates remote 
working? 

According to Business Insider , Jassy said: Its past the time to disagree and 
commit and if you cant disagree and commit, I also understand that, but its 
probably not going to work out for you at Amazon because we are going back to 
the office at least three days a week. Read more

Jassy continued to stress that its not right for all of our team-mates to be 
in three days a week and for people to refuse to do so. 

In the meeting, Jassy is also said to have disclosed that he spoke with 60 to 
80 other CEOs, the majority of whom agreed that office-based structures 
should be brought back. 

The company has been tracking US-based employees who fail to show themselves 
frequently enough in the office since at least mid-August, together with 
other technology firms like Apple. 

Earlier this summer, almost 2,000 workers pledged to walk out in protest over 
the companys office working rules along with other concerns including 
progress towards its climate policies. Amazon later told us that only around 
300 workers followed through. 

 TechRadar Pro has asked Amazon to comment on its ongoing WFH struggles, but 
we did not immediately receive a response. Need a more comfortable setup? 
These are the best office chairs
