Well yeah, driving people to quit to save money on severance from the impending layoffs is the whole point of forcing them to return to the office

So in this instance would quiet quitting lead to the desired result? Just doing the most subpar work until they’re forced to fire you with a severance…

Oh, permission to leave the plantation, thank you boss sir.

Same old slave owner personalities.

Would continue to work from home until they fire me.

Any manager high up enough to be talking on a news channel doesn’t have the degree of interaction with workers to know what they think.

As an Amazon employee...the man blatantly lied about the figures for those happy to RTO. He probably got them by seeing that ~10% of corporate staff are in the remote advocacy channel, and assumed that everyone else was...happy?

Regardless, Amazon is known as a place that values data above anything else. If you are a fresh grad PM and you're caught fudging or misrepresenting numbers to suit a narrative, guess what happens to you. You are more than likely PIP'd or fired

I'd say that Matt Garman should be fired for lying about the data, but given that Jassy has a habit of lying about figures also, the rot is at the top.

This was always the intention.

Break up big tech. Regulate monopolies before the cause the second great depression.

amazon unhappy with happier employees can leave too

Amazon employees starting their own businesses in 3-2-1...

Why is even the writer of the article lying about the reason? Everyone knows this is about real estate value propping up the stock price.

"Please leave! If we fire you, we have to pay unemployment, but your replacements will be younger (less costly health problems) and will accept less pay. It's win-win-win for us if you leave of your own accord!"

They will do whatever they can get away with.

In other news, "no one wants to work anymore".

I've heard that this is the new type of layoffs big tech is doing. Massive layoffs that are required lower the stock price but people quitting is not news. So the best strategy to get rid of staff is to create a hostile work environment temporarily until you reach the right amount.

This is a really bad idea for long term health of a company. The people that stay are the ones that will struggle to find new jobs and the people that leave probably already have another job at a competing firm lined up.

It's just straight up dumb but keeps the stock price high and the CEO gets his bonus.

That's right about when I would start slacking off real hard.

I'll just leave this here.

Paging Tyler durden on this mf

Time to set up effigies on gibbets for totally peaceful protest purposes.

Well... uhhh... that was Amazon's plan. I thought we were on the same page.
