Amazon employees may not get promoted if they violate return-to-office mandate

Almost two years after the global shutdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic, companies are starting to put an end to the work-from-home era. Although many employers are still offering both remote and hybrid modes of working to ease off some pressure, things are getting quite serious at Amazon. The E-commerce giant is stringent on its return-to-office mandate. According to CNBC, employees who violate the company’s policy, which requires a minimum of three days at the office will face dire consequences.

“Managers own the promotion process, which means it is their responsibility to support your growth through regular conversations and stretch assignments, and to complete all the required inputs for a promotion,” an Amazon post according to the aforementioned outlet reads. It adds, “If your role is expected to work from the office 3+ days a week and you are not in compliance, your manager will be made aware and VP approval will be required.”
