or look for another job

A threat.

Therefore hostile termination.

Therefore severance.

Amazon CEO is a dumbass and literally just lost this fight.

    What exactly is the threat?

    If I read the article correctly, the CEO's statement is effectively saying that employees who refuse to work according to the companies policy, may be fired.

    While I agree that it is bad policy, I don't see how this is unlawful policy, nor do I see how enforcing the policy is a threat.

    As far as I saw the other places had different wording, "it is not going to work out" or something like this instead of look for another job

    Where I live the wording doesn't matter, what matters if you signed an employment contract that states your job is remote, or even a lack of a mention of an office location where you are expected to perform work with an assumption (like the job posting specifying) that the job is remote then it's enough for the job to be considered a remote job. If the employer then tries to alter that without trying to give you some form of compensation, it's considered a constructive dismissal and you'd be eligible for employment insurance.
