<p>Amazon is intensifying pressure on its corporate employees to comply with its return-to-office mandate, stating that those who do not adhere may face promotion hurdles. The mandate, requiring employees to be in the office at least three days a week, has sparked tensions with some of Amazon's 350,000 corporate staff.</p>

<p>The company asserts that promotions are contingent on compliance with guidelines and policies, emphasising the role of managers in evaluating an employee's readiness for advancement.</p>

<p>According to a report by CNBC, the announcement has stirred discontent among Amazon employees, with protests and petitions against the return-to-office policy. The company's shift from a Covid-era flexible work arrangement to a more office-centric culture has been met with resistance. Despite internal opposition, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy remains steadfast in the decision.</p>

<p>Amazon's policy adjustments during the pandemic have been marked by shifts in its stance on remote work. Initially, the company declared a return to an "office-centric culture," but it later embraced a more flexible approach.</p>

<p>The return-to-office mandate, implemented in February 2023, led to protests and petitions, but Amazon has remained firm in its commitment to office-based work, stating that teams are better connected when working in person.</p>

<p>The company's recent announcement about blocking promotions for non-compliant employees adds another layer to the ongoing debate about the future of work, with Amazon positioning face-to-face interactions as essential for effective collaboration. Critics argue that this approach may not align with evolving trends favoring hybrid and remote work arrangements.</p>

<p>"Teams tend to be better connected to one another when they see each other in person more frequently," CNBC quoted Jassy as saying. The company's internal memo outlines the responsibility of managers in the promotion process, emphasising compliance with office work requirements as a key factor.</p>

<p>Employees have raised concerns about the impact of this policy on their career growth, highlighting the challenges faced by those who prefer remote or hybrid work arrangements.</p>

Amazon's Promotion Dilemma: Return to office or risk career growth

<p>Google has informed staff that there would be fewer senior-level promotions this year than in the past. Google's parent firm Alphabet Inc. laid off over 12,000 employees&nbsp;in January.</p>

<p>“The process (of promotion) is manager-led and will be largely similar to last year – though with our slower pace of hiring, we are planning for fewer promotions to L6 and above, than when Google was growing quickly,” the email stated, according to CNBC.</p>

<p>The term "L6" within Google refers to the first layer of employees; they are people who are regarded as senior and have experience of 10 years or more.</p>

<p>The purpose of this, according to the company, is to guarantee that the increase in the share of "Googlers" holding senior positions corresponds to the organisation's expansion.</p>

<p>These modifications occur as Google introduces its new performance review system, Google Reviews and Development (GRAD). The approach will result in an increase in the number of "Googlers" obtaining negative performance evaluations, and even fewer would receive great ratings, according to a&nbsp;report&nbsp;published by CNBC in December of last year.</p>

<p>Google said in January that it was slashing 12,000 jobs. For several employees, the layoffs were a shock even though there had been months of rumours about them.</p>

<p>Cuts were done after careful&nbsp;consideration, said Chief Executive Officer Sundar Pichai.&nbsp;"We've decided to reduce our workforce by approximately 12,000 roles. We've already sent a separate email to employees in the US who are affected. In other countries, this process will take longer due to local laws and practices,"&nbsp;Pichai said in a statement.</p>

Google to see fewer promotions to senior roles this year: Report

<p>Facebook Inc said on Thursday it would start promoting content from public Facebook Groups in users' news feeds and in search engine results, defying calls by watchdog groups to limit algorithmic recommendations ahead of US&nbsp;elections next month.</p>

<p>In a blog post, Facebook app chief Fidji Simo said the company would surface recommendations in news feeds by showing "related discussions" from public groups next to a link or post. Facebook Groups are communities that form around shared interests, and public groups' posts can be viewed by any user.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.wionews.com/technology/big-tech-companies-may-be-handling-data-of-hong-kong-users-to-china-331385"><strong>Also read:&nbsp;Big tech companies may be handling data of Hong Kong users to China</strong></a></p>

<p>Simo said Facebook would also start showing conversations from public groups outside the app, such as in web searches.</p>

<p>Facebook declined to specify when the changes would be rolled out, with a spokesman saying only that US tests would begin "in a very limited capacity" in the coming weeks.</p>

<p>The company, which made groups a strategic priority last year, also said it was adding new moderation tools for the more than 70 million people running those communities to help them reject posts, lead discussions and arrange paid sponsorships.</p>

<p>According to an internal memo seen by The Verge, the groups push this year has been a success for engagement on the Facebook app, with posts up 31.9% year over year as of August.</p>

<p>At the same time, the company has faced a series of scandals over extremist activity within groups, including the spread of thousands of Boogaloo, QAnon and militia groups and communities promoting health misinformation.</p>

<p>Facebook has gradually removed some such groups and limited recommendations to others.</p>

<p>Its new groups push comes days after Accountable Tech and a dozen other advocacy organisations called on Facebook to pause its use of group recommendations altogether until the results of the November&nbsp;3 elections are formally certified.</p>

<p>The coalition accused Facebook of prioritising groups despite red flags from researchers, warning the tools have become "hidden breeding grounds for disinformation campaigns and organizing platforms for extremists."</p>

<p>Adam Conner, a former Facebook executive who now leads technology policy at the left-leaning Center for American Progress, said the company's decision risked accelerating those dynamics.</p>

<p>"Giving content from those groups wider distribution and easier discovery is a dangerous choice right before a contentious election during a pandemic," said Conner.</p>

<p>Co-producer of Salman Khan's highly anticipated film 'Bharat', Atul Agnihotri shared another behind-the-scenes picture of Salman from the sets of the film.</p>

<p>He took to his Instagram account to share a picture featuring the 'Dabangg' actor, who can be seen sitting on a chair with his back to the camera and seems to be talking on phone.&nbsp;</p>

<p>It appears to be one busy day from the film sets.“#Bharat #Day90@beingsalmankhan @bharat_thefilm,” he captioned the post.</p>

<p>Actor Vicky Kaushal who is been seen enthusiastically promoting his highly awaited upcoming film 'Uri', has now spread the ' josh' to his Bollywood friends as well.<br />
A day before the film's release, the actor got an airplane full of stars saying out loud the powerful trending lines from the film 'Uri'.</p>

<p>As a bunch of young Bollywood stars made their way to New Delhi to meet the PM, Vicky took the opportunity to get his friends to promote his film mid-air.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
He shared a video on his Instagram page which had him along with other stars of the fraternity cheering for ' Uri'.&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;<br />
“Guys I have something to say to you,” he says to the camera and shows the faces of all the stars behind him. “How’s the josh?” he asks the group, screaming at the top of his lungs, just like his character from the film. And just like his soldiers from the films, the stars also respond with all their might, “High, Sir!” They also chant ‘Jai Hind’ and when Vicky asks when Uri is releasing, they say “Tomorrow!"</p>

Congratulations on your wedding @sonamkapoor & @anandahuja A mangalsutra is a sacred necklace that a groom ties around a brides neck in an Indian wedding ceremony. This one was especially designed by the bride (@sonamkapoor) herself and executed by us. It has symbols of both their star signs. Hers being Gemini (on the left) and his Leo (on the right) these are complimented by a Solitaire in the centre. #sonamkishaadi #everydayphenomenal #sonamkapoor #sonamkapoorwedding #sonamkapoorjewellery #anandahuja #sonamanand #anandsonam #mangalsutra #indianwedding #tradition #congratulations #bestwishes #veerediwedding A post shared by Usheeta Rawtani (@usheeta.devnani.rawtani) on May 10, 2018 at 6:56am PDT × The actress recently made an appearance for the promotion of her upcoming film, 'Veere Di Wedding', where she was dressed up in lovely red-white fusion suit.
