Amazon mandates employee relocation for three days of in-office work weekly

India TV News  

Amazon is implementing changes to its employee work arrangements, requiring some corporate workers to be present in the office for three days each week. An Amazon spokesperson stated that working together in the office for at least three days per week has resulted in increased energy and improved collaboration among teams and nearby businesses. In May, Amazon asked most of its corporate staff to be present in the office for at least three days a week, prompting protests by some employees in Seattle. As Amazon faces increased competition from rivals like Walmart and Target, along with challenges such as rising inflation and supply chain disruptions, layoffs are seen as a strategy to reduce expenses and improve efficiency.
