Amazon CEO denies full in-office mandate is 'backdoor layoff'

Quick Summary:

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said at an all-hands meeting on Tuesday that the plan to require employees to be in-office five days per week is not meant to force attrition or satisfy city leaders, as many employees have suggested.

"It is an adjustment," said Jassy on Tuesday.

Workers who are consistently not in compliance have been told they will be "voluntarily resigning" and locked out of company computers.
