What is the latest RTO Amazon policy?
The latest RTO Amazon policy requires all employees back to the office for a full five -day work week from January. And although other firms follow the Amazon leader, employees’ opinions weren’t positive.
After the announcement of the message in September, 73% of the corporate workforce Amazon stated that they were looking for a latest job. Then, in October, the general director of Amazon Web Services, Matt Garman, told employees who do not need to return to the office for a full five days that there have been “other companies”. This led over 500 Amazon employees to sign the letter of the protesting comments.
