This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
or look for another job
A threat.
Therefore hostile termination.
Therefore severance.
Amazon CEO is a dumbass and literally just lost this fight.
What exactly is the threat?
If I read the article correctly, the CEO's statement is effectively saying that employees who refuse to work according to the companies policy, may be fired.
While I agree that it is bad policy, I don't see how this is unlawful policy, nor do I see how enforcing the policy is a threat.
I doubt it's not carefully worded in corporate speak. It's much more likely just The Guardian's sensationalism. Amazon have an army of HR people; they wouldn't make such basic mistakes.
As far as I saw the other places had different wording, "it is not going to work out" or something like this instead of look for another job
Where I live the wording doesn't matter, what matters if you signed an employment contract that states your job is remote, or even a lack of a mention of an office location where you are expected to perform work with an assumption (like the job posting specifying) that the job is remote then it's enough for the job to be considered a remote job. If the employer then tries to alter that without trying to give you some form of compensation, it's considered a constructive dismissal and you'd be eligible for employment insurance.
Unionize
I cannot upvote this one enough.
Man, can you imagine what it must be like to be a recruiter for Amazon?
Go fuck yourself, Andy Jassy. I hope your name becomes as reviled as the scumbag you succeeded.
Textbook example of "the rules are for thee, not for me".
At least this CEO is not as prehistoric as Zoom one lol.
Anyways, if i worked for Amazon I would be looking for another job ASAP, i value my time a lot.
I love how covid is growing and we are still with this back to the office bullshit.
Right in the midst of a COVID surge. Brilliant CEO they have there.
