In May, employees in the US staged protests during a lunchtime demonstration against the policy. Amazon CEO Andy Jassy reinforced the company&#8217;s commitment to returning to the office at least three days a week in August, stating that it&#8217;s time to &#8220;disagree and commit.&#8221; Jassy suggested that employees unable to align with this approach might find Amazon&#8217;s work culture challenging.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amazon is instituting a policy that may impact the career advancement of employees who choose not to return to the office.
