Amazon managers should not need face time for supervision
Amazon.com Inc has gotten serious about its return-to-office policy, according to Business Insider, encouraging managers to confront and even fire employees who don’t come in at least three days every week. Although attendance at US offices hasn’t meaningfully increased over the past year, tension has, with a recent Gartner survey finding that most leaders are seeing “increased inter-team conflict” resulting from return to work mandates. “I don’t view return to office as a dilemma about what the right percentage of time in the office is,” says Burkus. “It’s a dilemma about employees’ newfound taste of autonomy, and the need to keep them accountable to performance and connected to the rest of the team.” Managers can find ways to do that without relying so heavily on face time.
