Amazon withholds promotions for employees not adhering to return-to-office policy

Amazon is implementing stricter measures to enforce its return-to-office mandate for corporate employees. According to internal posts viewed by CNBC, employees who do not comply with the policy of working in the office at least three days a week may be denied promotions. Managers are responsible for supporting employee growth and must ensure compliance with the in-person work requirement. Amazon’s decision to require employees to return to the office has sparked tensions and protests among staff. The company’s stance on remote work has evolved throughout the pandemic, initially planning to return to an office-centric culture before implementing the current mandate.
