But then you can also say that companies want people back because they are secretly harvesting their skin cells at work to see to alien larvae. It is a theory.

The problem with Amazon choosing to do this compared to nameless companies is that a lot of Amazon's work culture has been written about, and not all of that written about them is positive.

Amazon as a company is obsessed with driving down costs holding managers accountable to well defined metrics which filters down to everyone. This is the reason why warehouse people let others die in the warehouse.

The argument that Amazon, this company obsessed with metrics, is going to tell people to come into the office even though they are more productive at home, doesn't make sense.
