Amazon makes it harder for employees with disabilities to work from home
- Amazon wants to bring employees back 5 days/week away from the office
- The approval process for remote work will be more complicated
- It will be harder to get new authorizations and renew current ones
- Employees will face “heavy scrutiny from management”
- Amazon may force them to return to the office for a month
- That's how it will determine if the conditions meet their needs
- Mandatory 5 days/week out of the office will start in January 2025
- According to Jassy, this decision will strengthen the corporate culture
- Employees believe that this is Amazon's way of reducing staff
- The company itself denies any ulterior motive
- The law requires employers to make reasonable accommodations
- For example, special parking lots, captioning of meetings, etc.
- At the same time, there are no clear rules for remote work there
