Does RTO really matter?

I am not from Amazon but many of my friends are! I hear from them all the time about how toxic work culture at Amazon is ! They complain but do not quit maybe because Amazon pays sh-t load of money. I wonder if the 5 day RTO really changes... — read more

Amazon is NOT a Startup. Hello!!

Open Letter to The Genius Amazon CEO..

Oh, Andy, what a bold move—calling everyone back to the office five days a week under the guise of boosting productivity. How incredibly innovative of you to disregard every modern study on the topic, which clearly shows that remote work doesn’t hurt... — read more

Andy Jassy today!

Manager Layoffs

Amazon will be getting leaner by increasing the IC-to-Manager ratio by at least 15%. Managers with less than 7 reports are in jeopardy. Thousands of Manager to be laid off. With 5-day RTO, even less Managers. Desperate measure for expense control.

Another round of layoffs is coming

After reporting bad results, with a bad outlook, and chaos on Friday, they announced another 15 000 layoffs. Do we know who’s going to pay the price the most?

Amazon Stock Falls as Revenue and Outlook Disappoint

Flat growth over the last 4 years under Jassy. Too many misses, too much spending. More layoffs. Hint: layoff Managers running tiny teams or low performing Managers. If you have a team of 1-4, then it's half a pizza team. Remove all bad Managers from... — read more
