With return to office it's nowhere near enough on the west coast. Unless you hold a top position at a large corporation on the west coast you don't even have enough money to buy a house. Considering you're helping generate billions in revenue yeah, I'd say you should be being paid more.

The danger of any walkout is that you won't be allowed to walk back in. The time for useful collective action was back when tech companies couldn't hire fast enough, and tech employees enjoyed unusual leverage. After 27,000 layoffs, a performative walkout without a defined goal is just making it easier for Amazon management as they plan the next round of cuts.

Why just tech? Can't the same be said for employees of any successful company?

Wed 5/31 12pm near Bezos's balls (ie the spheres). It would be a shame if other people that are forced back into the office would not show up in support.
Do they plan to return after lunch?
