Over 500 Amazon employees sent a letter on Wednesday to AWS CEO Matt Garman, urging the executive to reverse the company's full return-to-office policy, Reuters reports. In September, Amazon asked employees to come back to the office five days a week starting in 2025.
According to reports, AWS CEO told employees earlier that nine out of ten workers he spoke supported the policy. The letter rejected the claim that RTO policy enjoyed widespread support and claimed the statistic does not jibe with many employees' experience. The employees who authored the letter said they were "appalled" by hearing Garman's non-data driven explanation.
AWS seems to be sticking by its RTO policy. This month, Matt Garman told employees they could work somewhere else if they didn't like coming into the office.
