About time, not just for Amazon, but the entire country. RTO has taken a ridiculous amount of time to implement, and finally employers are turning the screw.

I think tech CEOs are looking at x/twitter and realizing how overstaffed they are


Onlyfans has $13 million revenue / employee

Tech firms are way over staffed

Part one of the memo is laying off middle managers, part two is encouraging people with options to quit. This is a layoff without having to announce a layoff

+1. Strange not to offer 1 or 2 days a week unless they want people to quit. Bet they offer exceptions for the people they want to keep.
