Starting in May, Amazon began requiring corporate employees to be in the office three days a week, a policy that alienated some personnel. Expressing frustration that some staff weren’t taking the mandate seriously, Jassy made clear at the meeting earlier this month that those who don’t comply could lose their jobs, the online news site reported.

Last month, Bloomberg reported that some corporate employees would have to relocate to comply with the three-day mandate.
Morale at Amazon has taken a hit since the company laid off about 27,000 employees. A number of personnel who work at the company’s Seattle headquarters walked off the job in May to protest the return-to-office policy.
In an email to Insider, Amazon spokesperson Brad Glasser confirmed Jassy’s comments. The company declined to immediately comment.
