Matt Garman, CEO of AWS, tells people who work from home to either go back to the office or quit. Reuters reported on Thursday that an Amazon executive recently told workers who don’t like the new five-day in-person work policy that “there are other companies around,” which is likely code for companies where they can work from home.
Andy Jassy, Amazon’s CEO, told workers last month that there will be a full return-to-office starting in 2025. This is more than the three days that have been allowed for about the last year.
Most tech CEOs have said no to remote work before Garman, but he’s the first one to do so. Dell is said to have told workers earlier this year that they won’t be considered for raises if they don’t show up to work. However, most people will probably still be able to work from home. According to studies, most people who work from home would quit if they had to go back to the office.
