Disgruntled Amazon employees prepare for massive walkout in response to layoffs and return-to-office policy

Hindustan Times  

Tensions are running high at Amazon's Seattle headquarters as employees announce plans for a massive walkout scheduled for next week. The walkout, organized by employee activists, aims to draw attention to the frustrations surrounding layoffs, the return-to-office policy, and the company's perceived inaction regarding climate change. The walkout, spearheaded by a coalition of employee groups, including Amazon Employees for Climate Justice, aims to push the company to address its impact on climate change. The walkout, scheduled to occur during lunchtime outside Amazon's iconic Spheres, highlights the growing discontent among employees who believe that the company's leaders are not exhibiting the innovative and flexible "Day 1 mentality" that has been a core tenet of Amazon's culture.
