Amazon CEO says ‘it’s probably not going to work out’ for employees who defy return-to-office policy

Published Thu, 13 Mar 2025 10:25:23 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Amazon employees have been pushing back against the company’s return-to-office policy for months — and it seems CEO Andy Jassy has had enough. During a pre-recorded internal Q&A session earlier this month, Jassy told employees it was “past the time to disagree and commit” with the policy, which requires corporate employees to be in the office three days a week. The phrase “disagree and commit” is one of Amazon’s leadership principles, and was used often by the company’s founder and current executive chairman, Jeff Bezos. “If you can’t disagree and commit, it’s probably not going to work out for you at Amazon,” Jassy said, adding it wasn’t right for some employees to be in the office three days a week while others refuse to do so. His comments were first reported by Business Insider, and later shared by Amazon.The current office attendance mandate, which was announced in February and went into effect in May, is a shift from Amazon’s previous policy that allowed le...

Russia says no to international probe into Prigozhin crash

Published Thu, 13 Mar 2025 10:25:23 GMT

Russia will not conduct an investigation under international rules into the jet crash that killed Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin.Prigozhin was traveling in a Brazilian-made Embraer Legacy 600 when the plane crashed north of Moscow last week. The Brazilian Center for Investigation and Prevention of Aeronautical Accidents (CENIPA) told Reuters on Tuesday that it would join a Russian-led investigation into the crash if invited, and if the probe is held under international rules. But Russia will not initiate an international probe “at the moment,” the Brazilian agency said. “They are not obliged, only recommended to do that,” Marcelo Moreno, head of CENIPA, told Reuters. “If they say they are going to open the investigation and invite Brazil, we will participate from afar,” he added. Air-crash investigators normally aim to conduct probes as transparently as possible, with the goal of improving safety standards as the highest priority. The plane carryin...
