Amazon Asks Employees to Come to Office 5 Days a Week from Next Year | Firstpost America

Excellent reporting! That really sucks.

I'm not an Amazon spokesperson and do not speak for the company. Can't they just WFH instead though? The Amazon population in Seattle is vast, but a good amount of team members don't need to meet in person to innovate in their roles. Engineers don't need to look over each other's shoulders to look at a screen when there's a screen share functionality in almost every comms app. Many workers have bosses and coworkers in other states/countries, so they'll have to go to work only to "collaborate" with their team via video call anyway! This whole thing has a cloak-and-dagger feel and it's sickening. Very "Strive to be Earth’s Best Employer" of Amazon to destroy work-life balance for folks essentially just for the hell of it. Not to mention this action will make an already crowded area more crowded and punish loyal workers by making them spend hours in traffic and make them pay for parking. Ridiculous.

👏GOOD. At home employees have become spoiled and too comfortable in my opinion. It’s time to get out here with the rest of us.

@@shroom8511 Lol who is "the rest of us?" I think the real question is, if a position can be performed to the same degree of quality WFH as in-office, why wouldn't that role be WFH where possible? Why congest areas for "the rest of us" when they could instead live a lifestyle more tailored for that individual?
