Corporate employees Amazon They appear to be very upset about being told to return to the office five days a week starting in January, according to a survey by Blind, an online forum for anonymous tech workers, confirmed by the platform.
A whopping 91% of the 2,585 Amazon workers surveyed by Blind said they were unhappy with the new return-to-office policy announced last week in a memo from Amazon CEO Andy Jassy.
“General policy of the RTO [regreso a la oficina] “This is crazy, especially for those of us who were hired remotely and away from the office—I have kids and family here who don’t want to move,” one survey respondent commented in response to the new rule. “Even if I didn’t, the risk is too great: I’ll still be fired in 6 months, so why risk moving?”
Amazon’s corporate employees will be able to come into the office at least three days a week from June 2023, but in an apparent move to end the hybrid work style adopted during the pandemic, Jassy told employees last week that he believes “the benefits of being going to the office together is important,” and that it was time to return to full-time employment.
“We have found it easier for our teammates to learn, model, practice and reinforce our culture; Collaborating, exchanging ideas and inventing becomes easier and more effective; teaching and learning from each other become more fluid; and teams tend to be better connected,” Jassy wrote in his note, adding: “If anything, the last 15 months of being back in the office at least three days a week have reinforced our belief in the benefits “
The CEO said the company will “help ensure a smooth transition” for those who have structured their personal lives such that returning to the office full-time will require some adjustments, although it’s unclear how flexible Yassy will be. and his senior team on such matters.
Amazon isn’t the only tech giant to change its practices during the pandemic: Apple, Microsoft, Google and Meta are among those who have taken similar steps. These companies currently expect their employees to come into the office at least two or three days a week, although it will be interesting to see if any of them follow Amazon’s lead and instruct their employees to return to their desks during business hours. weeks.
