Amazon CEO Andy Jassy warns remote workers: ‘It’s probably not going to work out for you’

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy told company employees who defy his edict to return to the office for at least three days a week that “it’s probably not going to work out for you.”

Jassy made the comments during a meeting earlier this month during which he expressed frustration over the fact that some employees were not taking the return-to-office mandate seriously, according to the news site Insider, which obtained a recording of the CEO’s comments.

During the meeting, which is known in internal Amazon lingo as a “fishbowl” meeting, Jassy declined to share data that motivated his decision to require employees to return to the office.

The CEO told his charges it was a “judgment” call. Employees who were unhappy with the decision were invited to seek employment elsewhere, Jassy reportedly said.

“It’s past the time to disagree and commit,” he said.

I have three clients who have, since COVID, moved here because they can telecommute... Big city pay and small town prices.

One of those is likewise under a demand to go back to the office. He sold everything back where he's from and hauled his family all the way out here... It isn't anywhere near feasible for him to commute (somewhere in CA), so last I talked to him, he was looking for work.
