I would quit immediately it I had to go to an office with a bunch of dogs in it. It's weird to me that in all the performative "inclusion" that companies get up to, they think it's ok to create a policy that will make a non-negligible portion of workers extremely uncomfortable. Their choice, personally a dog-friendly workplace is a complete nonstarter for me

#5No one should be surprised by this. I interviewed at AMZN and the online quiz was basically "Which delivery driver would you fire in this scenario" and the 1-on-1 interviews were with people who when I asked what you like about AMZN replied "the stock price". If you take a job at AMZN you are treated like a cog in the machine. And that is fine if that is what you want.

#7It's pretty much a layoff in disguise at this point.

#8It is for a three-day return-to-office, not full time. Given the state of the economy, I'd be worried about just quitting. It seems during the pandemic tech workers went for broke and took car leases and moved away banking on being able to WFH for a long period of time. I wonder if Amazon made it clear WFH would not be permanent or an option. There are plenty of tech workers who would like to work at Amazon if a bunch quit. Those who quit will still be stuck with their new housing and car lease arrangements anyway. Personally, I am freelance again (not in software/tech), but I voted for a return to the office. Our engineering firm (entertainment engineering - structural and mechanical) was not doing as good quantitatively as my peers thought we were doing as we WFH. Plus, a lot of people were actually happy after the fact when they started to realize they had taken for granted the face-to-face interaction at work and for some without self-discipline, the motivation to get up and working without too many home distractions.

#9Looks like Management has decided that immediate 5 day RTO will cause too many resignations all at once. Start with 3 days, then 6 months later 4 days, and finally full time RTO will spread the resignations out and reduce business disruption.
