Amazon is once again doubling down on its return-to-office mandate, warning staff that not complying could impact their chances of being promoted.
Employees who don’t regularly work in an office at least three days a week will find that any potential promotion will be subject to an additional layer of leadership approval, the e-commerce giant confirmed to CNN on Friday.
There are a “variety of factors we consider when determining an employee’s readiness for the next level,” Brad Glasser, an Amazon spokesperson, told CNN in a statement.
Ok, but how likely is it to get promoted at all when working for Amazon? Like are promotions a real thing? Are they symbolic or like actual promotions? Is it like McDonald’s promoting you to “Assistant Manager” and giving you an extra 15 cents an hour?
I always assumed the point of working at Amazon was to have “Amazon” listed as a previous employer on your resume. It looks impressive to HR and the stuffed suits and helps you command a higher salary at your next job.
