After Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta, Amazon CEO Warns Of Firing Employees Who Don't Work From Office

About a week after Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta warned of termination for employees not coming to office three days a week, e-commerce giant Amazon’s CEO Andy Jassy has issued a similar warning.?

In a message to Amazon employees who don’t want to return to the office, CEO Jassy said “It’s not going to work out for you.”?

While Amazon had ordered its employees to return to the office for three days per week starting in May, many Amazon employees weren’t happy about the decision. Thousands of workers signed a petition against the mandate and staged a walkout in response.

That clearly hasn’t changed Amazon’s position on the matter. In a recording of the meeting obtained by Insider, CEO Jassy told workers, “It’s past the time to disagree and commit,” adding that “if you can’t disagree and commit... it’s probably not going to work out for you at Amazon because we are going back to the office at least three days a week.”

Jassy reportedly said his decision to have employees return to the office was a “judgment call” and that employees can leave if they don’t want to comply. “It’s not right for all of our teammates to be in three days a week and for people to refuse to do so,” Jassy stated.?
