US Edition‘Decide in 30 Days or Resign without Severance’: Amazon Asks Employees to Relocate Closer to Their Teams
- Amazon is ordering thousands of corporate employees to relocate to hubs in Seattle, Arlington, and Washington, D.C., or resign without severance.
- The relocation mandate is part of a longer effort to bring teams physically closer to improve effectiveness amid workforce reductions driven by AI automation.
- Managers informed teams individually and in town halls that employees have 30 days to decide on relocating or resigning, then 60 days to act on that decision.
- CEO Andy Jassy recently said the corporate workforce will shrink over the next few years as AI automates some tasks, while the company invests about $105 billion this year mostly in AI.
- The policy adds pressure on employees already worried about job cuts, especially mid-career workers reluctant to uproot families, and could prompt some to quit voluntarily.
