Does Amazon still have sales and tech reps afield, or is it all done remotely now? Pulling reps out of territories where they can otherwise be out in front of prospects and customers regularly is pretty shortsighted.

“Every company that has done RTO has seen productivity increase exponentially.”
Well there’s absolutely no proof of that. I guess we can just make up stats…
- 832% of Amazon workers that have no life outside of work (no family, no significant partner, no pets, no hobbies… nothing) would completely push the RTO mandate because they have no reason to not be in the office 100% of their life, and 88.386% of those are seriously challenged making any friends in the office.
LOL. And Microsoft is threatening RTO as well, unless productivity increases. Which it won't, because people who WFH spend 90% of their time on non-work activities. In fact, this is a brilliant move -- you get rid of dead weight and saddle your competitors with them, if they are stupid enough to hire the WFH slackers.
Every company that has done RTO has seen productivity increase exponentially. People in the office actually do work, rather than sitting in Zoom meetings all day while cooking, cleaning, watching TV, or playing games.
Tell me you are a boomer without telling me you are a boomer...
"Amazon could, an should lay-off every WFH employee who refuses 5-day RTO. A lot of these WFH jobs add zero value and should be eliminated."
Not according to Microsoft...
"If you make the time to do it right, your employees will be more engaged, more productive, and more connected, even when they're miles away," Keith Boyd, a Microsoft IT senior director, wrote in an August post about the hybrid-work approach. "And they'll be far less likely to leave for a competitor who has a more sophisticated and flexible model than you do."
