Amazon’s AWS unit’s CEO Matt Garman has issued a bold message for the employees at the recently held all hands meet. He claimed that all top executives in the company are in favor of the 5-day per week work from office policy. He further added that nine out of 10 employees he had spoken with support the new policy. The contentious new work from office policy will come into effect from January 2025. He suggested that employees who are unhappy with the new policy can quit. Garman nonchalantly stated that there are other companies around for the employees who don’t work well in “that environment” and “don’t want to.” He clarified that his statement was not meant “in a bad way.” “We want to be in an environment where we are working together,” Garman added. He reasoned that the company wants to innovate on interesting products and it;’s impossible to do so if “we are not in person.” Amazon’s new mandate has met with much ridicule by staff who are worried about wasting time with added commute. Reportedly some of the employees who haven’t been compliant with the company’s RTO policy were told that they were voluntarily resigning even as they were locked out of workstations at the company.
