[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of these posters seem to think in-office work is now dysfunctional. Yet, it was the standard/gold standard four years ago. Yes, I understand why people now want to WFH and cut the commute, but why is in-office work now less productive than pre-COVID? Is it just negative employee attitudes? Because, let’s be honest, despite all the claims of people working hard while WFH, we know there’s a lot of goofing off. WFH is like professional welfare - full pay for part-time effort. [/quote]

The point is Amazon and other companies were work from home long before the pandemic/4 years ago.  So, my spouse who has been at Amazon long before the pandemic was always WFH with occasionally going in, maybe once a week, maybe every 2-3 weeks, now has to go in 5 days a week.  We cannot move and uproot our kids.  We cannot afford to move either.  Nor does it make sense.  While he's been at Amazon longer than most, its a turn and burn company so moving for Amazon makes no sense for us vs. commuting.  Its sad as its been overall ok for us, great supervisor right now and don't want to leave.  My husband doesn't goof off, nor does most of his team.  Amazon can easily track when you are working and they are know to let go of people goofing off so that's not why.

They want to do layoffs without laying off as they can hire cheaper employees overseas and this way they get rid of people without layoffs.  They also get tax breaks for the buildings that are pressuring people to come back for the business, especially for lunch (we will be packing lunch).[/quote]
