Amazon CEO Andy Jassy made it clear in a recent internal meeting that he wants employees to “disagree and commit” to the company’s policy of working three days in the office, and find somewhere else to work if it doesn’t work for them.

We discuss the news in the first segment of the GeekWire Podcast this week, and ponder why Amazon seems to be getting a bigger backlash than other big companies implementing similar policies.

In the second segment, we consider new changes in the MLB automated ball/strike system for Triple-A games, as an update to Seattle Mariners CEO John Stanton’s comments in a recent interview with our GeekWire colleague Taylor Soper.

And finally, we give a sneak preview of the upcoming GeekWire Summit, scheduled for Oct. 19 at the iconic Seattle movie theater formerly known as the Cinerama.
