 American multinational company Amazon has made it mandatory for its employees to work from the office for five days from January. At the same time, employees willing to work from home have been asked to find another job.Â
Amazon Web Services (AWS) CEO Matt Garman has sternly told employees that those who do not agree with this change are free to look for other job opportunities. In a company-wide meeting, Garman said that Amazon considers personal collaboration essential to promote innovation and this move will help achieve the company’s ambitious goals.
At the same time, for those employees who are not interested in working from office, he said that they can find jobs for themselves in other companies.
Good work personal contribution
Speaking to news agency Reuters, Garman said that if there are people who don’t work well or don’t want to work in that environment, that’s fine – there are other companies around. He said that I didn’t mean any negativity. Rather, I believe that Amazon’s best work comes from personal collaboration. When we really want to innovate on interesting products and haven’t seen the ability to do so if we aren’t in person.
He has claimed that most employees are in favor of work from office. He says that out of ten employees he spoke to, nine were in favor of it. However, many Amazon employees have expressed disappointment. They say that making work from office mandatory for all five days increases unnecessary travel time and stress. While there is no clear evidence that this improves productivity.
I need to come to the office for just three days
Till now, Amazon employees were required to come to the office and work only three days a week. However, many employees oppose this policy as well. Recently, CEO Andy Jassy had said that it was mandatory for Amazon to work from office for five days.
At the same time, there are many employees who have failed to come to the office even for three days a week, they have been asked by the company to resign voluntarily and they have even been removed from the company’s system.
