Everyone I've ever interviewed who currently works at Amazon is desperate to leave an environment ripe with overwork, backstabbing, and nasty office politics. You create the culture you want.

That they uniformly laid off similar percentages of employees last fall (despite the fact the stock market has rebounded) should have confirmed your suspicions nearly a year ago.
They seem to largely be lemmings, calling plays out of the same playbook.

#133Layoffs sound bad... hmm... how to get rid of a chunk of employees without making it look like a layoff, so our shareholders won't get scared? Let's take away the benefits and make them quit instead!

#134I find the push for "back to the office" one of the most astonishing things to come out of corporate America. We've basically been moving to a model where people can work from home for a few decades. We're reached a point where it's not only feasible, but it's senseless to do otherwise for many positions. And then, suddenly and out of the blue, a lot of CEOs and upper management started demanding that employees go ba…
Tbe slavemasters want control. Will the American public follow orders?

#135This is so ironic coming from the company that benefits more than most others when society works from home.
You know what’s close to the office? A bunch of not-Amazon brick and mortar stores.

> Nobody wants to waste time to work in a noisy, less comfortable environment.
Except CEOs because they have nice comfortable offices, flexibility, assistants handling interruptions, and they don't have to spend long periods of time focusing. Looking over the heads of their minions is a tacit affirmation of their power and influence. Just like looking over an empty building full of open office desks without workers is kind of sad and disappointing. "Have I failed as a leader? I didn't, surely. But then, why is there is nobody here? We should fix this...".

#139Corporations will do whatever they want to until we have unions in this country. Mass layoffs, termination with no reason, dictating how they want the workforce to be exploited. If this generation cannot see that, I hope younger folks or our kids will make this country a better place to live and work.
