U.S.-based Amazon employees said that they received a return-to-office warning from the giant retailer. Because of this, staff shared their disappointment; asking for a warning is meant to scare them.
US-Based Amazon Employees Receive Return-to-Office Warning
According to CNN Business, Amazon sent a return-to-office warning to its staff in the United States. The e-commerce giant emailed employees who are not complying with its return-to-office policies.
Analysts said that this warning shows Amazon's determination to implement these rules despite the employee backlashes.
Some staff decided to take screenshots of the email message and share them on social media platforms.
Based on the circulating images, the retailer said that some of its workers are not meeting the expectation of joining other employees in the office at least three days a week.
"We expect you to start coming into the office three or more days a week now," said the e-commerce company.
Amazon added that many Amazon staff already complied with the return-to-office rules, which were implemented in May; saying that the collaboration of Amazon employees and teams is surging.

Amazon Employees are Outraged
Many Amazon employees were outraged by the email message sent by their company. The New York Post reported that the latest warning worsens the tensions within the business of the e-commerce giant.
In May, Amazon's workers decided to stage a walkout to protest against the return-to-office policies.
Now, there's a high chance this could happen again as Amazon further forces its workers to comply.
In an internal Slack channel, an Amazon staff asked if the email warning is supposed to scare them.
Another Amazon worker said that the email message is "peak absurdity," arguing that the warning was incorrectly sent to many employees who are already following the return-to-office regulations.
Meanwhile, many Amazon employees are asking if the email is a sign that the company will conduct additional layoffs or if it will lead to stricter attendance requirements.
Amazon clarified that it might have made a mistake after sending the email to complying workers.
"If you believe that you received this email in error, please reach out to your manager to discuss your situation and ensure it is accurately reflected in the system," said the retailer.
