Nothing like a cloud provider being part of the problem rather than the solution

If companies like Amazon and Zoom are pushing people back into the office, maybe they are finding issues with full remote work.

Shame they never actually produce the supposed evidence of this. Just vague statements and platitudes that wax poetic about years gone by.

There are zero things I need in the office to do my job and I get everything done when I WFH in a timely and efficient manner. So what if I also get to watch old movies while I do it? I get it done and I do it well. Bosses just want to monitor your life because they think if you take so much as a minute off, you’re costing them money and it’s utter bullshit.

That’s assuming rational leadership. That’s pretty rare.

I’m not expecting rationality, but I’m expecting a somewhat consistent strategy. If a company makes decisions the same way five times, I expect them to make decisions the same way the sixth.

Amazon is doing this to reduce headcount. They know a lot of people will resign over this.

They’ve also gone through rounds of layoffs.

If full remote workers can be cheaper for Amazon, why is the company choosing to make this a criteria for remaining employed?

It’s got to be on a spreadsheet somewhere, but whoever’s got it isn’t showing it to us.

I feel like, even if they showed it, no one hear would want to believe it.
