Most Amazon workers considering job hunting due to 5-day in-office policy: Poll

“My morale for this job is gone..."

Ars Technica
@arstechnica In follow up poll employees prefer eating ice cream to dirt. I mean seriously how bad is your home life that fighting traffic seems preferable?

@arstechnica This allows #Amazon to force more employees to quit rather than taking on the cost and bad press of even more layoffs, and it lets execs maintain their commercial real estate investments by forcing full buildings.

It's just another con game by the filthy rich.

@bigheadtales @arstechnica And they are not alone in doing this now. More than a few large companies made this move at the same time. It is truly sickening to see the contempt they have for the very employees that made them rich. Some things never change.

@arstechnica

Go to the office so they can get on the same Zoom calls they do at home?

It's the usual story. Companies have invested heavily in office space and, by God, it has to be filled!

Also, the bosses - the bigger, the more Boomer - have little to do without someone to boss around all day.

And derivatives of these reasons.

IMO.

@zachvat @arstechnica the just on time supply management and / or on demand economy IS the problem. convert the offices to warehouses and graneries getting rid of it only hurts the big corps and real estate income trusts.

@zachvat @arstechnica If they were smart they would dump the office space before the rush.
@arstechnica If there’s one thing Amazon is known for, it’s caring about their employees.
@shac @arstechnica Amazon will perpetually strive to be the world’s best employer. Because they will never actually do anything that brings them close to being a better employer.
@shac @arstechnica so then, what are they known for??? 😜
@arstechnica now if only I had any idea about who that remaining 9% could be...
@arstechnica ...there are people working at Amazon, the companies known to literally push people to piss in bottles rather than toilet breaks and other awful working conditions, who still had morale for working before ? woah.
@arstechnica I worked there.. and no amount of money would ever tempt me to go back...

@arstechnica

if you are required to RTO and they aren't covering your extra time and expenses

you are taking a pay cut and turning your life upside down

@arstechnica in other news 9% just vested their stock and are quitiing

@arstechnica i delivered and was paid less and less as i went on, was designated essential worker during COVID lockdown and wound up living out of my car and no coverage when i was sick.

thankful that i quit suddenly and passed in my car putting a roof over my head and enough for transit pass. living on fixed retirement .

i hope Bezos will die penniless, like Craford Gordon did.

Start RAGE APPLYING so you dont fall with him.

@arstechnica this sort of thing really should be classified as constructive dismissal and penalized as such
@arstechnica It won't change anything, but deeply impressive that 90% of people agree with anything.
@arstechnica I'm at a subsidiary of another huge corporation that's doing this. They know this will hurt retention so obviously the goal is a free round of layoffs of the people doing well enough to look elsewhere, therefore the better paid ones
