The majority of corporate Amazon employees told anonymous job review site Blind that they’re not happy with the RTO mandate and are looking for new jobs—or know someone on their team who is.

Companies clinging to pre-pandemic office norms are missing the point entirely. Amazon just might be one of them.

CEO Andy Jassy expects employees back in the office full-time, but Amazon's five-day office return mandate isn’t as rigid as it seems.

Amazon.com will require employees to return to working at company offices five days per week beginning next year, toughening a prior three-day mandate. The change is necessary to "invent, collaborate and be connected" wrote CEO Andy Jassy in a letter to employees on Monday (Sept 16) posted to its website.

Amazon's new return-to-office policy for corporate workers has provoked their ire, with some considering quitting the tech giant and many dissatisfied.

While Jassy positioned Amazon's changes—which also include a flattened hierarchy and no more hot desking—as a better way to work, disgruntled employees are adamant that it's a thinly veiled headcount reduction.

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy's mandate for employees to return to the office five days a week from January 2 has led to 73% considering quitting.
