One of Amazon's (AMZN.O) top executives defended the new, controversial 5-day-per-week in-office policy on Thursday, saying those who do not support it can leave for another company.

Speaking at an all-hands meeting for AWS, unit CEO Matt Garman said nine out of 10 workers he has spoken with support the new policy, which takes effect in January, according to a transcript reviewed by Reuters.

Those who do not wish to work for Amazon in-office five days per week can quit, he suggested.

Got news for you, Matt. 9 out of 10 workers are kissing your ass.

More likely it's an outright lie.

I'm willing to believe he asked ten of his VPs and nine of them agreed with him. Also, that he's currently looking to fill a newly opened tenth position.
