I'm a 64-year-old Amazon employee. Retirement wasn't even on my radar, but now I have to leave due to RTO mandates.

Becoming the norm in Corporate America, if it isn't already. Every employee is disposable. It doesn't matter what you do. It doesn't matter how good you are. It doesnt matter how loyal you are. You are disposable.
There is no social contract anymore between employers and employees. "It's just business" is a cop out to wriggle away from ethics -- but it is now the law of the land.
Which is why not enough younger employees want to climb the ladder anymore. I avoid promotions too, just not worth it. There is going to be a lot of unqualified clowns getting promoted and running companies in the future just because they were willing to eat enough shit.
I was laid o0ff 4 times in 8 years. no one cared . at all. now? everyone has learned how evil layoffs are. never work for a corp. fuck them. get your own skill, hang out your own shingle. if they need you, they can contract you under your terms.
