Lee Ann Million, a long-serving executive assistant at Amazon, faces termination as the company enforces a return-to-office policy. Despite nearly 14 years of dedicated service and outstanding performance reviews, she feels she is being fired rather than choosing to leave. Million had successfully worked remotely for the past nine years and does not understand why the mandate applies to her. Having loved her job and the opportunities to grow at Amazon, she describes the situation as demoralizing and perplexing.
I've been an executive assistant at Amazon since 2011. My role is to get the leaders I work for where they need to be - a meeting, a country, whatever - as quickly and as efficiently as I can.
I'm not leaving voluntarily; as far as I'm concerned, they're firing me. I'm a good employee. My performance review this year said I significantly exceeded expectations.
