Amazon requires employees to go to the office at least three days a week, or leave.
CTOnews.com, Oct. 22, according to Business Insider, this week Amazon issued new guidance to managers informing them that they can now fire employees who do not comply with the company's return to work policy and set out the firing process.
The internal document reportedly instructs managers to communicate privately with employees who do not meet the requirements of coming to the office at least three days a week, and to have a second conversation after the employee still refuses to come to the office. If the employee still fails to come to the office as required after that, he or she may be at risk of being fired.
CTOnews.com noted that Amazon informed employees in February that most people need to be in the office at least three days a week starting in May. According to this rule, some employees need to move to meet the requirements.
Amazon spokesman Rob Munoz said: "now that we have had a few months, the vast majority of employees come to the office more frequently every week, with more energy, contact and collaboration." we also hear this from employees and businesses around our offices. As we expect from any policy, we want our team to comply with them, and if someone chooses not to do so, we will take appropriate action. "
Munoz says a relatively small number of employees need to move, and the company offers relocation benefits to anyone who is asked to move.
At the end of August, Amazon CEO Andy Jasi warned that there could be a severe blow to anyone who still failed to comply with the resumption policy. "if you can't disagree and commit to implementing the policy, I understand, but you may not be fit to work at Amazon because we have to go back to the office at least three days a week." "it's the right thing for all our teammates to come more than three days a week, and some people refuse to do so," Jassi said at a meeting. "
The e-commerce giant employs more than 1.46 million people around the world and has many offices, including its headquarters in Seattle and its second headquarters in Arlington, Virginia.
