Amazon CEO's 'Hardline Approach': Monitoring Phones, Office Return

Amazon CEO's 'Hardline Approach': Monitoring Phones, Office Return

Amazon's new boss, Andy Jassy, is trying to change how the company works.

He's making employees go back to the office five days a week and is keeping track of how they use their work phones to see if they're working.

The goal is to bring back a feeling of urgency and to simplify the way things are done.

He wants Amazon to be like a startup, even though it's very big.

Some employees like these changes, and the company's stock has gone up.

However, some employees are worried about job security and the focus on cutting costs, and some junior leaders feel left out of important decisions.
