[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe they are serious about it, but boy has it been an epic cluster of leadership failure. From a heavy handed proclamation all must return without assessing office space (put them in the utility closets? Do they REALLY need wifi?) To hackneyed guidance on enforcement, it's been an absolute mess and they look like fools. All the engineers and they can't integrate a badge system to PTO or leave of absence systems? Sending out threatening emails about not being in the office 3 days a week to people on paternity and medical leave with obvious exceptions was despicable. [/quote]

No one needs wifi at work - in the office. No one. [/quote]

This is the craziest ish I have ever seen on here. Our team is spread out across four time zones. How are we supposed to be working--from anywhere--without wifi?[/quote]

I think the PP is assuming everyone has a desk with a hard wired connection.  [/quote]

There are connections however that's not a big deal, its the commute time with the lack of flexibility given many start taking calls at 6-7 am all the way up to 10-11 PM.  Amazon is demanding employees be flexible about calls, which is reasonable when it's a global company but with that they also need to give employees some flexibility too.  So, if you spend two hours working at night, it's ok to take an hour or two in the middle of the day for something.  Most teams are in multiple locations, often multiple countries so you aren't going in to be productive with your team and maybe at best a small portion of your team is in your office location.

There are hot desks now.  My spouse lost their private office/desk space.  They have to carry everything back and forth every day with them.  When it goes back fully in person there isn't enough office space for everyone especially when some supervisors are demanding specific days in the office (despite them never going to the office themselves).[/quote]
