00:00 Amazon's return to office mandate has been met with protests and upset employees and
00:04 the company just added to the fire.
00:05 The tech giant sent an email earlier this week scolding employees for not following
00:10 the new return to office policy of at least three days a week.
00:13 But the problem is some of the employees who received the email say they have been going
00:17 into the office as requested.
00:18 A spokesperson for Amazon confirmed the email to Fortune and said the error was in oversight.
00:23 Still, this email shows Amazon strict measures for employees coming back to the office, which
00:27 is a big change from a year ago.
00:29 Last September, CEO Andy Jazzy said they didn't have a plan to require people to come
00:33 back.
00:34 But five months later, Jazzy issued a company-wide policy requiring employees to come back to
00:38 the office three days a week, even if that meant that some remote workers would have
00:41 to move to cities where the company has offices and those that choose not to relocate would
00:45 be considered to have voluntarily resigned their position.
