CTOnews.com, Aug. 20 (Xinhua)-- Amazon is pushing ahead with a plan to get employees back to the office, with few exceptions for those who don't want to move, forcing some employees to take extreme measures to comply with this order.

The company recently began implementing a "back to the centre" policy, requiring employees to return to the central office as assigned by their respective teams, rather than any office closest to their city, forcing some employees to move. Employees who refuse to move near the team's "central" office can only find a new job within the company or leave through "voluntary resignation".

Amazon executives say they are instructed to make exceptions in very few cases. Some people say that the company's goal is to keep the proportion of "exceptions" in single digits across the company, including regional sales teams and protected groups, leaving little room for individuals.

To this end, Amazon employees are taking extreme measures. On Blind, an anonymous discussion app, users posted that their husbands were considering living in a van near Amazon's Seattle headquarters so they didn't have to move to Texas. Another user said they were considering flying from San Francisco to Seattle every week.

They have other ways to deal with Amazon's strict new policy, and some employees plan to use the address of a family member who lives near Amazon's office and fly there if necessary. Other employees plan to tell Amazon that they intend to comply with the order and use the time they have been given to move to find a new job.

For employees who choose to move, Amazon gives them a few months to find a new place. Amazon offers about $7000 in cash and an one-off package for temporary housing in a new city for a month or so, according to an employee who still works at Amazon. However, the relocation order caused a huge internal uproar, and many employees were considering what to do.
