Matt Garman, CEO of Amazon Web Services (AWS), has given employees the option to either comply with the five-day in-office policy or leave the company.
Garman believes that in-person collaboration is essential for innovation and the development of new products.
Many employees are unhappy with the mandatory return-to-office policy, citing concerns about commuting time and loss of flexibility.
Some speculate that Amazon's rigid policy could be a strategy to trim its workforce by encouraging disgruntled employees to voluntarily resign.
