This conversation will 1) reinforce that return to office 3+ days a week is a requirement of their job, and 2) explain that continued non-compliance without a legitimate reason may lead to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of your employment," the guidelines said.

First announced in February, Amazon's return-to-office process has been unusually contentious, with more than 30,000 employees signing an internal petition and many others walking out earlier this year in opposition to it.

Employees have expressed frustration because they were hired as fully remote workers during the pandemic and they see the current mandate as a shift from a policy allowing individual leaders to determine how their teams worked.

In an email to Insider, Rob Munoz, an Amazon spokesperson, said the company was seeing "more energy, connection, and collaboration" with the vast majority of employees in the office more frequently.

In the guidelines, Amazon encourages managers to "assume positive intent" and "make high-judgment decisions" regarding individual situations, such as ascertaining whether employees have missed attendance requirements because they're on paid time off or at home because of an illness.

If the noncompliance continues, managers should conduct follow-up discussions within a couple of weeks, where they have to reinforce the three-times-a-week attendance policy and explain possible disciplinary action that includes "termination of your employment."
