Amazon warning to staff to curb working from home

Some staff members were alerted on Wednesday that they were "not currently meeting our expectation of joining your colleagues in the office at least three days a week", according to emails shared with the Financial Times. The emails were also discussed on the anonymous corporate message board platform Blind.

The email was intended to be sent to workers who had come into the office fewer than three days a week for five or more of the past eight weeks, according to a follow-up message sent to employees that Amazon shared with the Guardian. Some employees reported receiving the email by mistake and were encouraged to clarify their attendance with human resources.
