Amazon has tracked the attendance of US-based workers and targeted those failing to comply with its hybrid working policy, becoming the latest employer to take a more aggressive approach to forcing staff back to the office.
The Seattle-based tech group this week singled out some staff members to tell them they were “not currently meeting our expectation of joining your colleagues in the office at least three days a week”, according to an email seen by the Financial Times.
“We expect you to start coming into the office three or more days a week now,” the email said. The missive to a select number of employees prompted some to raise concerns about privacy while others said they had received the email in error.
