Amazon’s CEO has told workers “it’s probably not going to work out” for them at the tech company unless they are prepared to come into the office at least three days a week.
Andy Jassy made the statement in a meeting where he made clear his frustration that some employees were not coming in three days a week, despite that being Amazon’s official policy. The comments were first reported by Insider.
He said: “It’s past the time to disagree and commit. If you can’t disagree and commit … it’s probably not going to work out for you at Amazon because we are going back to the office at least three days a week.”
That has nothing to do with Amazon. Amazon very much wants to watch their workers and have control. They want to work their workers and have them quit after five years. It is why I would never work for Amazon. I do not want an employer that plans to burn me out in five years.
Bezos felt the longer you stayed, the lazier you got. That you’d work hard at first and then slowly stop working.
It’s easier to track hours, etc when you’re in a office.
