Amazon’s return-to-office policy requires that employees come to the office three days a week. That policy galvanized about 2,000 Amazon employees worldwide at the end of May to walk out on their employer to protest the e-commerce giant.
An Amazon spokesperson confirmed to the Associated Press last month that employees were relocating, but would not discuss other media reports about how it was mandating its workers in smaller offices to shift over to main offices in larger cities. Amazon also did nor offer specifies on how many employees would be required to move.
Amazon will give “relocations benefits” to employees asked to relocate and the company will consider requests for exceptions, spokesman Brad Glasser said. “There’s more energy, collaboration, and connections happening since we’ve been working together at least three days per week, and we’ve heard this from lots of employees and the businesses that surround our offices,” Glasser said in a prepared statement. “We continue to look at the best ways to bring more teams together in the same locations, and we’ll communicate directly with employees as we make decisions that affect them.”
