[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The roads are so clogged now. Traffic is horrible. This is all so unnecessary when half these people can just stay home. [/quote]

Seriously. It’s so ridiculous [/quote]

I was never anti-RTO.  But, we now have a senior leader who is so relentlessly pro-RTO in the face of so much evidence about people spending their whole day on Zoom calls with other employees elsewhere in the country.  This person’s zealotry has really opened my eyes to the nonsensical nature of much RTO.   [/quote]

It really doesn't make sense, especially with Amazon as many jobs require flexibility and weekend and evening hours.  Its easier to be flexible with work from home where if you know you have calls from 8-10 at night or later, you can flex during the day.  My spouse gets pinged all hours of the day and night to fix things or clean up someone else's mistake.  To expect him to get up at 2 AM, work an hour or two then get up at 5:30-6 to leave to get to work by 8, isn't reasonable.  Those emergencies are going to have to wait now.[/quote]

Yes. I'm at Amazon and looking as is everyone around me. Ironically, pre pandemic we were very flexible and in office 2 to 3 days a week  so the 5 day RTO mandate is not even a return to the "norm" but a lot worse. Not sure if your spouse has noticed, but I have observed a shift in attitude that we now work 9 to 5 jobs. That's it.[/quote]
