Amazon CEO Andy Jassy has taken a clear position that if Amazon employees don’t join the back office and go to the office at least three days a week, they could lose their jobs. This isn’t the first time Amazon’s CEO has urged employees to return to work. At the beginning of 2023, he had made a similar statement, but the workers had “protested” and a few even quit their jobs at Amazon instead of returning back to “headquarters”. However, Jassy has made that clear to Amazon employees, according to a Business Insider report. “It’s not going to work out for you,” he said.

“It’s time to disagree and engage,” he said, adding that “if you can’t disagree and engage … it’s probably not going to work out for you at Amazon because we’re going back to the office at least three days a week,” Business Insider quoted Jassy as saying .

It’s like “Judgement Call: Amazon’s CEO.”

Jassy also mentioned that getting all employees back to the office is like a “judgment call” and he doesn’t like that it’s unfair that some employees go back to the office while others refuse. “It’s not right that all of our teammates are there three days a week and people refuse to do that,” according to the report.

Back in February 2023, CEO Andy had asked his employees to physically return to the office at least three days a week. Jassy said in his official blog post that it is easier to learn, model, practice and strengthen the company’s culture when employees are in one office most of the time, surrounded by colleagues.

Talking about jobs, Amazon is said to be creating 20,000 jobs in India. Jassy said this while meeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the US recently.

During their conversation, PM Modi and Amazon CEO discussed how to help Indian startups, employment opportunities, exports, digitization and empowering Indian masses and small businesses on a global scale. Sharing the minutes of the meeting, Andy Jassy announced that he is committed to investing $26 billion in the country by 2023 and also digitizing 10 million small businesses and facilitating $20 billion in exports.
