[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The funny thing about RTO was my husband was work from home long before covid and its really unfair to now mandate it after the original agreement before covid policies was work from home.  We are 60-90 minutes from the office. Metro would be even longer when you factor in driving to the metro, parking, metro, 2 busses to the office.

Collaborating is ironic as they don't work in the same offices or even countries so they will still do it online or by phone and they don't have enough desk space for everyone to sit together.  We are half joking about buying a portable desk and chair because there are no assigned desks and not enough space so to drive out an hour or more to sit on the floor is absurd.[/quote]

This is my office too.  I think it is all about optics.  My new employee works in Utah.  It is easier for me to interact with him when I am home so I do not bother those around me.  We used to go in 1 day a week.  Now it is 50%..and no we do not have assigned desks.  Even if a team member and I are in on the same day we might be sitting on different floors and never see each other.  I will retire earlier for sure.[/quote]

This is what they want.  [b]Its for layoffs without saying layoffs.[/b]  My husband's supervisor lives on the other side of the country, many co-workers are all over the world.[/quote]

This.  That’s how you get rid of parents with younger children, older people, etc.  Basically anyone who can’t give 12 hrs/day to their workplace.[/quote]

Another Amazonian here. Two people on my team recently left. One moved to a company with full time WFH because he was hired out of Chicago suburbs and is not interested in relocating to NOVA. The other has two young kids and cannot logistically handle the daily commute and in person 9-5 without big changes to her lifestyle. Several people on my team are actively looking. If the goal is reducing headcount they will achieve it. Though it’s a little hard for me to believe they’re willing to risk losing over half the team who would have to relocate from another state.
