Amazon CEO Andy Jassy recently told employees that those who do not want to return to the office at least three days a week should consider finding employment elsewhere. According to a recording obtained by Insider, Jassy stated “It’s past the time to disagree and commit,” adding that if employees cannot commit to the new hybrid work model, “it’s probably not going to work out for you at Amazon.” He characterized the decision to have employees return to the office part-time as a “judgment call.” Notably, Jassy said employees are free to leave if they do not want to comply with the hybrid work requirement. This makes clear that Amazon has not changed its stance on returning to office work despite some employees preferring full remote arrangements.

    I think it’s less about boycotting Amazon and more about supporting other (hopefully better) companies. It is not realistic for us to get Amazon to shut down, but it is realistic for us to support competitors and keep them at least surviving.  Better to have other companies with their own store fronts then everybody consolidated on Amazon.
