Anyone here at HQ2 not happy?

Don't like it? Find a new job.

It’s their way of having people quit

+1. Strange not to offer 1 or 2 days a week unless they want people to quit. Bet they offer exceptions for the people they want to keep.

Part one of the memo is laying off middle managers, part two is encouraging people with options to quit. This is a layoff without having to announce a layoff

I think tech CEOs are looking at x/twitter and realizing how overstaffed they are

Amazon has a bloated headcount. Lean companies don’t care if their people are at their desks as long as they’re performing.

It's easy to cry doom and gloom but in practice this will not actually mean "everyone" RTO 5 days a week. My position is officially "at" HQ2 and this will not impact me. When it comes to actual implementation it will still vary based on team/role/manager discretion. My team of 50+ people only has only 8 people living in the DMV area, and no, the other 40+ will not be laid off or expected to move.

They’re just keeping you comfortable. If you squirm as the guillotine comes down, it could be inhumane.

This is how companies are dealing with AI. They need many fewer people.

Onlyfans has $13 million revenue / employee

Tech firms are way over staffed

About time, not just for Amazon, but the entire country. RTO has taken a ridiculous amount of time to implement, and finally employers are turning the screw.

They just did a mass hiring again in my spouses organization.
