Amazon Requires some business employees to move closer to their managers and teams, aimed at cities such as Seattle, Arlington and Washington DC (via Bloomberg).
In contrast to other similar movements, which have been communicated via e-mail, it is assumed that the e-commerce giant shares the message via one-on-one meetings and town halls that are probably affected.
The report notes that thousands of employees can be forced to go over different teams, but the famous vocal employees of the company are understandably frustrated by the decision.
Amazon asks employees to move
Although moving is not always a problem for new starters, many employees in the mid-career hesitate to move because of personal and financial challenges-a move would mean that families are being upheld, children who change schools and partners looking for other jobs.
The affected employees would have 30 days to decide, followed by a period of 60 days to move or resign. It is also believed that those who refuse to move will not receive dismissal packages.
A company spokesperson said that Amazon’s relocation trend has been going on for more than a year, with CEO Andy Jassy previously claimed that personally working ad-hoc interactions and therefore productivity.
Amazon now requires that employees come to the office five days a week, but that policy is delayed At the end of 2024 due to a lack of readyness – there were just not enough desks.
“We hear from the majority of our teammates that they love the energy to be established together, and when someone chooses or is asked to move, we work with them to offer support based on their individual circumstances,” said a spokesperson for the company.
Some employees are concerned that the policy change could be an attempt to push employees away from the company – although thousands lost their jobs in 2022 and 2023, the dismissals of Amazon are relatively small in the following years (compared to other giants in industry).
