To h3ll with all these Godless, globalist corporations. All are controlled by the same “kind” (see the “Dark Triad”). It’s most certainly a conspiracy, but there’s nothing ‘theoretical’ about it!
I know a some people who are less than 6 month retirement eligible who are being asked to relocate. If that were me I would definitely relocate, thenI’d retire the minute I became eligible. No contest. Never walk away from retirement benefits whatever they may be.
And??
According to this article at least Amazon gives relocation assistance.
Why do you care what Amazon is doing? How does that affect you? Stop with the conspiracy theory cr@p.
*companies
The company’s can’t openly state that the government is controlling private business policy and decisions.
The fed thinks there are too many employed workers driving up inflation. Cue the globalists companies to help them out and seek attrition. Moreover banks and corporate real estate values are plummeting. It’s part of the control black rock and soros have placed upon us.
Each corporation has been tasked with reviving and keeping certain metro areas alive.
The state and federal governments are applying pressure (corporate tax or subsidies) to make sure the cities don’t completely fall apart.
This isn’t an AT&T, Amazon, Tesla, Charles Schwab individual corporation decision.
All the companies are just coincidentally going through the exact same exercise at the exact same time??
Amazon does not care. Anyone leaving is unregretted attrition.
Best scenario - find another job with a start date after severance starts.
Worst scenario - wait to get fired, that’s the worst situation. Not only do you get a negative mark on your work record, you burn a bridge and won’t have a good reference.
If I knew I was getting laid off and had severance I’d just tell the potential employer I can’t start until X date. But if X date is too far in the future and they want me to start sooner, I’d ask for a signing bonus to compensate.
I wouldn't quit. If I hadn't found another job, I'd either make them pay me to leave or be fired. No way I would move for job in today's world.
the article is completely in line with what's going on here. it even states some employees that live within an amazon office and have been going 3 times a week are still being asked to move to a completely different state. queue AT&T. between at least our two companies, there's going to be a lot of unemployed people next year. kind of nice to know it's not just T pulling this d1-k move. the best companies with 100% remote ones are the small ones you don't know about. my software engineer partner makes close to $200k in a start-up vs a giant company
You were asked to move to Seattle from where?
They asked me and other my team members to move to Seattle as our boss is there 🤷♂️
Duh.
Choice.
