Andy Jassy, the CEO of Amazon, clarified during a company-wide meeting held on Tuesday that the intention behind the proposed mandate for employees to work in the office five days a week is not aimed at pushing for attrition or appeasing city officials, as some employees have speculated.

Workers at Amazon are expressing concern over a contentious new policy that will require them to report to the company’s offices daily beginning next year, as opposed to the current three-day requirement. Many employees believe this mandate is more stringent than what is seen at other tech firms and fear it will negatively impact productivity due to increased commuting time.
