Amazon has warned its employees that, in order to be promoted, they must comply with the requirement of working in person at least three days a week, at a time of strong internal resistance to leaving. teleworking.
"Like any company, we hope that employees who are being considered for a promotion comply with the company's alignments and policies," one of Amazon's spokespersons, Barbara Agrait, explained in an e-mail to EFE, asked about the teleworking issue.
Office employees who do not work in person three or more days a week will be promoted only if additionally approved by a manager.

Tensions between the corporation and its workers began last February, when Amazon ordered its 350,000 employees to return to in-person work starting in May.
Thousands of workers signed a petition against the mandate and called a strike to ask the company for more flexibility with remote work.
In July, the media Insider accessed some leaked messages in which Amazon proposed making employees sign a "voluntary resignation" if they did not travel to the in-person centers where its teams work.
