What's behind Amazon's all-or-nothing return to office policy?

Everyone looking forward to the gridlock and highway traffic madness again. When you get back to the office then there are not enough desks so its a bunfight and also Amazon announced aggressive 'performance based' reductions in workforce through downgrading folks performance 'on-the-bell-curve' and forcing the curve for greater attrition. Great to be baaack! We have all seen the reports of Amazon's just-walk-out technology and Zoox self-driving technology actually being handled by masses of low-cost workers over in India. That 5 day return to office actually means they want 20 percent of the US corporate workers to LEAVE without having to do another round of Layoffs and severance payouts, to be replaced by much cheaper labor in India offices. Good for the 'efficiency' report to shareholders but bad for US workers. Brought to you by the company famous for pey-in-bottles and crying-at-desks. ;-)
