[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Amazon just gave its managers authority to fire workers who won’t RTO 3 days/week. It’s about time. [/quote]

Why do you care about Amazon? Do you work there or something?[/quote]

Don’t work there. It’s just an example of a company that pays great overall compensation, yet many workers seem to take it for granted. Same for other FANG and similar jobs. The people who work these jobs seem to think they’re a special class to whom the rules don’t apply. It’s time they’re humbled. [/quote]

Actually the compensation is just ok, especially for the amount of hours most work.  They are going to lose a lot of good people.[/quote]

+1. The compensation is not great right now and a lot of people took huge paycuts with low stock prices. Layoffs mean those who are there are being asked to do more with less. I assure you, they've been humbled.

I'm a manager at Amazon and basically just  tell people to get those badge swipes even if they go in, get a coffee and leave. We are spread out across the country so there is no team to work with and it's a distracting environment with terrible wifi. [/quote]

Well this is honest. Do they just care about badging in? Not badging out? Look, Jeff Bezos is a jerk and I don’t think I own amazon stock so do what you gotta do![/quote]

You have to badge to get into and out of the building. They care this happens 3x a week. Theoretically, you can do this at 11.50 pm Monday and 12:15 am Tuesday and have been in 2x a week. If there is tracking beyond number of "days" it's not widely available even to fairly senior levels. The way the system still doesn't account for things like PTO I'm skeptical it exists. [/quote]

They can easily track when/who is working.  [/quote]

Are they going to track whether they are wfh or not if they badged?[/quote]

They are trying to reduce the numbers.  I suspect after they achieve what they want, they'll call it off.[/quote]
