The policy has upset many of Amazon’s employees who say it wastes time with commuting and the benefits of working from the office are not supported by independent data.

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.“If there are people who just don’t work well in that environment and don’t want to, that’s okay, there are other companies around,” said Garman.

Amazon invited pro-Palestinian rapper Macklemore to address staff — but allegedly banned pro-Israel talk to Jewish workerswho say it wastes time with commuting and the benefits of working from the office are not supported by independent data.Some employees who had not been previously compliant were told they were “voluntarily resigning” and were locked out of company systems.

“I’m actually quite excited about this change,” said Garman. “I know not everyone is,” he said, noting it’s too hard to accomplish the company’s goals with only the mandatory current three days of in-office work.Garman said under the three-day policy, “we didn’t really accomplish anything, like we didn’t get to work together and learn from each other.”
