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.
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?
Bork is saying a blanket ban on computers connecting remotely would not work in a company that has a huge operations department who need to be on-call.
Ok, I understand that. But I didn’t say anything about either of those things.
