One of Amazon’s (AMZN.O) top executives defended the new, controversial 5-day-per-week in-office policy on Thursday, saying those who do not support it can leave for another company.
Speaking at an all-hands meeting for AWS, unit CEO Matt Garman said nine out of 10 workers he has spoken with support the new policy, which takes effect in January, according to a transcript reviewed by Reuters.
Those who do not wish to work for Amazon in-office five days per week can quit, he suggested.
They want people in the office, but they still want people to be able to work when they’re at home too. No shot RTO comes with blocking remote access to corp systems, or even prod for that matter.
How would oncalls be handled without it even?
Oncall is usually a 24/7 type of thing, where speed is a major factor, and I doubt they would want to restrict oncall engineers to on-site only.
I’m not seeing anything about 24/7 on call workers. The article is about five days a week employees. Did I miss something?
