They have no idea how shitty their company has always looked to prospective employees. Be careful what you wish for.
This was always the intention.
As an Amazon employee…the man blatantly lied about the figures for those happy to RTO. He probably got them by seeing that ~10% of corporate staff are in the remote advocacy channel, and assumed that everyone else was…happy?
Regardless, Amazon is known as a place that values data above anything else. If you are a fresh grad PM and you’re caught fudging or misrepresenting numbers to suit a narrative, guess what happens to you. You are more than likely PIP’d or fired
I’d say that Matt Garman should be fired for lying about the data, but given that Jassy has a habit of lying about figures also, the rot is at the top.
I think people working at amazon and shopping at amazon, both without clear necessity, are part of the problem.
As someone that has worked for/with several small companies, including those involved in wellness and promoting mental health, that’s a load of shit. Lots of employers are ruthless and evil, including many of the ones people here work for. Amazon is no different, they’re just much larger.
You have exactly the attitude of someone able to work for a monster like amazon. Unnecessary aggressive and condescending.
Thanks for making my point.
Your comment has the hallmarks of the ignorance that the average Lemmy user has…
Oh, permission to leave the plantation, thank you boss sir.
Same old slave owner personalities.
Thanks a lot. Now, whenever I see a quote from one of these types of leadership people, I’m going to hear the quote in a southern slave owner voice like Leonardo Dicaprio in Django.
amazon unhappy with happier employees can leave too
Well yeah, driving people to quit to save money on severance from the impending layoffs is the whole point of forcing them to return to the office
You don’t like the anal probe? Just leave!!
(*without any additional pay or severance)
They should really open just an absolute shit load of individual constructive dismissal cases.
My guess is that by going fully onsite, they can probably avoid layoffs entirely. The majority of tech roles are hybrid or remote so the departures are going to be often and steady which will naturally select out anyone not interesting in making their life Amazon. They want employees that live and breath Amazon and this is how they get that (or just keep desperate people).
The hilarious thing is that the first ones to go will be the high performers. They’re executing a dumb as shit layoff that will set them far behind competitors.
Why is even the writer of the article lying about the reason? Everyone knows this is about real estate value propping up the stock price.
Man, there are people who will argue until they are blue in the face that the purpose is not real estate.
The “only” evidence I can provide is that the values of proximal commercial properties is rapidly losing value because the workforce that provided business to those properties is no longer there. And just because the properties have investments made by the company doesn’t mean they own them outright (despite the value tying into their businesses net worth).
Of course they would lie about this. It doesn’t benefit the real estate owners and the business to publicly share that investments are losing value because of natural economics. The entire financing industry is based on lies to begin with, can’t change that now (/s).
Would continue to work from home until they fire me.
Would continue to sit in office applying for other jobs until they fire me.
So in this instance would quiet quitting lead to the desired result? Just doing the most subpar work until they’re forced to fire you with a severance…
Yes. Malicious compliance.
Amazon employees starting their own businesses in 3-2-1…
