Nucor earnings beat by $0.08, revenue fell short of estimates
Investing.com -- Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:AMZN) is requiring some corporate employees to relocate closer to their managers and teams, creating uncertainty among staff already concerned about potential job cuts.
The company is directing workers to move to cities including Seattle, Arlington, Virginia, and Washington DC, according to Bloomberg, citing people familiar with the matter. For some employees, these relocations would require moving across the country.
Rather than announcing the changes through a company-wide email, Amazon is communicating the relocation mandate primarily through one-on-one meetings and town halls.
The policy will impact thousands of employees across multiple teams, one person said. Many mid-career professionals with school-age children and partners with established careers are hesitant about making major moves, especially given Amazon’s ongoing cost-cutting initiatives.
This relocation requirement comes as Amazon’s workforce is already concerned about job security and previous warnings that artificial intelligence could reduce staff numbers in coming years.
