Amazon corporate workers staged a walkout to signal a “lack of trust” in the company’s leadership, in what is perhaps the most visible sign of dissent among the e-commerce giant’s office workers in recent memory

On Wednesday afternoon, organizers of the walkout said more than 1,000 corporate employees participated in the event. Amazon disputed that figure, saying it estimates approximately 300 people participated in the event. In an email the night before, organizers had said more than 1,800 Amazon employees committed to join the walkout to call attention to employee frustrations on multiple fronts, including the company’s push to get workers in the office at least three days a week.

She said she was inspired to start an internal Slack channel at Amazon called “remote advocacy” after the three-day return-to-office mandate was announced because she wanted a space where workers could discuss how the new mandate would impact their lives. “At first, I was really nervous when I started that channel because I thought, ‘Oh, it’s going to be me and, like, five of my best friends,’” she said.
