[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm glad. 100% remote work is bad for everyone (accept perhaps the slackers who hide behind WFH to mask how little they actually do). My nephew just got his business degree and he needs a job and wants to go into the office. I hope it works out for him getting to take the spot from someone who can't fathom leaving their house.[/quote]

You clearly don’t work for amazon.  My spouse works a minimum of 10 hours a day work from home.  With the hour commute he cannot work as much so they will lose productivity.  And, it’s mainly calls so being in a big room with others calls is not a good thing.  They have hot desks so you have to get in early or it’s a problem.  Not to mention cold, flu and Covid going around.   You truly have no idea.  [/quote]

The exec response is to have people leave, right? They are probably still slightly overstaffed as it is, so people will self select out and hopefully Amazon can then avoid additional layoffs.[/quote]

I suspect its either that or its that [b]they are getting lots of tax breaks for the office space and the agreement was to have x number of people for local businesses[/b] (however, not spending $15 a day anymore and will pack as between the gas, car and tolls it really adds up).  [/quote]

I think it's a combo of these but at least in Virginia there was an agreement like this to bring...25k? Not sure, people into the office and the tax break expired in June, so an April push was made. The "collaboration" thing is...sometimes valid. In my case, I'm the only one at the office locally so I don't talk to a soul and it's a check the box thing while I run around looking for private space to make calls, semi bitter I need to commute and can't even get a decent workspace. I spend no money there either, bring lunch and get in and out. [/quote]

It would be nice if they paid employees commute costs and not expect work from home mornings, evenings and weekends if you are putting in 8-10 hours in the office.  [/quote]
