Amazon employees strongly dissatisfied with CEO Andy Jassys 5-days-a-week office edict: report

Hundreds of employees at Amazon’s corporate offices have expressed their displeasure over CEO Andy Jassy’s directive for them to return to the office five days a week beginning early next year, according to a report.A survey that has been circulated internally among Amazonians finds that the average employee at the company is “strongly dissatisfied” with the return-to-office edict, according to Fortune.The survey was created by Amazon employees who then shared it to at least 30,000 members who logged in to a Slack channel called “remote advocacy,” according to Fortune.The magazine was able to see the results of the survey which found that respondents had marked down a 1.4 out of a scale of up to 5 — with 1 meaning “strongly dissatisfied” and 5 being “strongly satisfied.”The authors of the survey said they plan to aggregate and share the results by email with Jassy and other executives so as to “provide them with clear insight into the impact of this policy on employees, including the challenges identified and proposed solutions.”“We are seeking honest, constructive feedback on the recent decision to require a 5-day return to the office schedule,” the survey introduction reads.The Post has sought comment from Amazon.Several Amazon employees told Fortune that they opposed Jassy’s decision because they said it would impact productivity during in-office work days.They also said that the move is indicative of management’s lack of trust in its employees and managers.“Amazon got used to people having an extra 5-10 hours a week to work because we weren’t commuting,” an employee told Fortune.“RTO means that we no longer have the extra time to commit to Amazon and expectations of employees needs to adjust to reflect that.”The employee added that “we need to accept that RTO places hard limits on meeting times.” Subscribe to our daily Business Report newsletter!
