Sounding off against CEO Andy Jassy's recent return-to-office mandate, Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) employees are getting upset about taking off their pajamas.
A Slack channel protesting the measure - which will require corporate staffers to come in at least three days per week - amassed 16,000 members as of Tuesday night, while an internal petition has so far garnered 5,000 signatures.
Many are also putting "Remote Advocacy" in their statuses as they express frustration over childcare arrangements and their work-life balance, as well as a prior commitment to flexible work that gave many employees the ability to find more affordable housing.
While Amazon's (AMZN) RTO policy is not finding favor among the workforce, it could be a boost for local business and "commercial real estate markets [that] are currently in a recession" (as mentioned on a recent earning call by Boston Properties, one of the largest U.S. office building owners).
