Are they also, going to give all their commuting employees electric cars, to align with their “climate pledge”? Doubt it, but I’m sure their executives will still lecture the rest of us about climate change.
In other news I heard that the traffic in downtown Seattle is horrible after Amazon's return-to-office mandate. (Learned this second hand, please correct me if wrong)
Oh god yes. Also, our transit agency has a driver shortage so there are less buses in the road, and their schedules are erratic, making people rely on cars more often. It is even worse than before the pandemic at this point.
My favorite part of working there when this started being pushed was “source?” And the reply being “trust us bro” It’s so hilariously mismanaged..the execs are just useful idiots for the globalist agenda at this point
> the execs are just useful idiots for the globalist agenda at this point What does "globalist agenda" mean?
There’s a group of unelected elites that have created an global organization known as the World Economic Forum whose stated goal is to abolish private property and bring about a “Great Reset” [0] across the globe, consolidating power and eventually removing borders - this necessitates keeping certain structures of power in place and growing the gap between the “1%” and the other 99%. Eventually the goal seems to be to widen the gap to the point that the general public is so poor as to accept communism as an alternative to the poverty with the 1% as benevolent dictators
Yes. Let’s do this thing that will likely lower pay and ensure shitty engineers keep jobs they can’t do because of a horribly short sighted view that RTO is not equitable. The issues with Unions is there appears to be no way for a company to hire non union workers. Once this happens you are basically the mob. And hold the company and other employees hostage to mob rule. Which is almost always not driven by logic. The…
A CBA can cover things other than wages. Many states are also right to work, so nobody has to join the union in those states. How long do you think Amazon will last as a company if their engineering department went on strike? Probably about 15 minutes. Amazon workers could really get a fair slice of the pie of they organized.

Please cite any "lecture" from any Amazon executive on the subject of climate change.
"In employment law, constructive dismissal, also called constructive discharge or constructive termination, occurs when an employee resigns as a result of the employer creating a hostile work environment. Since the resignation was not truly voluntary, it is, in effect, a termination. For example, when an employer places extraordinary and unreasonable work demands on an employee to obtain their resignation, this can c…
I'm a remote worker who would quit before returning to the office. But even so I can't interpret a requirement to be non-remote as "a hostile work environment", "extraordinary", or "unreasonable". But yes, it does look more like a termination than a voluntary resignation.
So to give some insight, I've been working as a virtual employee for 6 years. I've never been to an actual office location and don't live near one. Every offer/contact I've had has been for virtual location. In my employee portal it's always listed virtual as my location.
With that said, we're now being forced to relocate to wherever our senior leadership (directors etc), people we've never met or spoken to, work out of. For example, if your leadership works out of Seattle, that's where you need to be.
Only options are relocate or voluntarily resign. No severance. And it appears no unemployment options.
I have no words to be honest and would genuinely appreciate advice.
