Hard line on conduct could prevent bigger lapses but may prompt claims of disguised cost savings
Amazon chief executive Andy Jassy recently told employees that a new plan requiring them to be in the office five days a week did not amount to a “backdoor lay-off”. Yet his reported comments at a company-wide meeting last week did not rebut a previous suggestion from a senior manager that staff who fail to comply could look for work elsewhere.
” A recent trend of staff turning to online platforms to vent their frustrations about perceived mistreatment by employers or indiscriminate lay-offs has also pushed some companies to recalibrate their approach. Websites such as LinkedIn and anonymous review site, Glassdoor, give workers an outlet for grievances about their bosses, which can then spread quickly and damage the reputation of employers.
