Amazon is rolling the clock back to pre-covid.

I enjoy how Amazon talks a big game about how great they are for the environment and their pledge to stop climate change, then they force workers to commute to the office who have been happily doing their jobs over the internet.
Yah this is literally the most basic shit any company can do to be more "green", cut costs, have access to a larger worker base...
Nope. Because the CEOs are all more concerned with the commercial real estate market than running their company efficiently.

It's shocking how many people have honestly bought this. I mean, I'm sure there is some truth to it and maybe somewhere, someone forced people to come back because of some real estate interests... But the CEO of Amazon almost certainly gains to benefit much more from a rise in price of Amazon stock than any real estate they might own. And even if it was the case, I dont think the board would be very happy about it.
It might be the wrong move, and maybe it is being done to get people to quit, but it's being done because they think it means more money from Amazon.
I think they are mostly doing this as a stealth layoff. It's been a pretty popular strategy lately.
The joke is, you get the good people to leave first this way. Be it estate or layoff, it's a bad move either way.
So why do they do it still? Only thing i can think of is the powerplay. CEO types are sometimes as developed as a child, mentally.
Also Andy Jassey does not look like he is able to effectively groom himself, so that tracks.
Because from you run a mega corp, you don't care about talent. You need complaint slaves!
Yeah and this whole agenda of RTO rolled out worldwide directly after Davos 2023 when a bunch of CEOs were tweeting about it from there. But noticing this makes you a conspiracy theorist.
They illegally fired the very employees who led the effort to pressure the company internally to do more on climate.. All their climate posturing ever since has been bullshit.
It's easy to terminate staff when you keep the real reasons hushed.
Hard to prove discrimination, union busting or workplace bullying when all you gotta do is set unrealistic targets, PIP those who fail to meet their goals and push them out through disciplinary/capability processes.
It's how I got scapegoated for department-wide failings and shitcanned from Teleperformance years ago...
