Overview

• Amazon has warned its employees that not adhering to the company's return-to-office mandate may jeopardize their chances of promotion.
• The policy requires employees to be in the office at least three days a week, and promotions for those not in compliance will now require a vice president's approval.
• Amazon's managers and human resources team are monitoring compliance as they evaluate an employee's 'promotion readiness'.
• Amazon has faced resistance from its employees over this mandate, with some staging a walkout and others signing an internal petition against the requirement.
• Despite the pushback, Amazon has not budged on its policy, and CEO Andy Jassy has stated that those who refuse to comply with the return-to-office mandate may not find success at Amazon.
