Amazon's high-ranking official recently expressed support for the contentious decision to enforce a five-day in-office work policy, urging employees who oppose it to seek employment elsewhere. During an all-hands meeting with Amazon Web Services (AWS) Matt Garman asserted that the majority of employees he spoke with endorse the policy, set to be implemented in January. He emphasized that those unwilling to comply have the option to resign, stating, "If there are people who just don't work well in that environment and don't want to, that's okay, there are other companies around." Garman further argued that in-person collaboration is essential for innovation, asserting that he has not witnessed effective innovation when remote.
