Firing those who don’t RTO

[Anonymous]

Amazon just gave its managers authority to fire workers who won’t RTO 3 days/week. It’s about time.

How is it about time? A lot of these jobs were work from home prior to covid so what they are doing is pure obnoxious. They want to reduce numbers so they are finding ways to fire vs. layoff.

Why do you care about Amazon? Do you work there or something?

Don’t work there. It’s just an example of a company that pays great overall compensation, yet many workers seem to take it for granted. Same for other FANG and similar jobs. The people who work these jobs seem to think they’re a special class to whom the rules don’t apply. It’s time they’re humbled.

So, you're jealous?

This is a common, overused retort by the chronic WFH/remote work promoters.

Jealousy means you want it too. I don’t want it.

What I want is a functioning workplace where everyone is accountable and carries their weight. I’m not going to get into a food fight about the productivity and availability of those who WFH, but it’s lacking relative to in-office peers. Thus, the frustration is not jealousy, but justice. I’m tired of co-workers half-a$$ing their job, getting paid obnoxiously well, and leaving their work for others. If the WFH crowd has suddenly discovered that the meaning of life is to screw their employers and peers and dig ever deeper into the pay/benefits cookie jar, then I support their dismissal. They’re no longer a team player and shouldn’t enjoy the fruits the team produces.

But you said you don't even work for Amazon, so why do you care? And I bet if you could WFH, you'd be singing a different tune. You sound jealous and bitter.

But what does workers at Amazon have to do with you if you don’t work there?

Amazon is about to report earnings. Wonder if bad news is on the horizon. When times get tough, fingers get pointed.

I think it’s very weird you have this manner of thinking and strongly advise you to seek therapy for your character defect.

I mean, wow. Is this mental illness of yours develop recently or have you always had such distorted thinking?

All the posters suggesting that OP shouldn’t care about Amazon because they don’t work there are missing the point. OP is using Amazon as a proxy for a type of company /worker friction.

Glad you’re not a therapist. It’s clear you don’t know much about mental illness. In fact, you might look in the mirror, because your views are tone deaf.

I could say the same about people with kids who think the world revolves around their kids schedules - and everyone without kids should be picking up the slack when they dart out the door at 4:45 regardless of what's going on.

The thing is if those people are slacking at home they will probably be slacking in the office too. If people aren't producing either WFH or in the office you need to manage their performance so this isn't going to accomplish what you're hoping it will.
