Amazon warns workers to come back into the office::This week, a reminder email was sent to employees who didn’t work on-site at least three times a week.
Why would Amazon want to pay for office space when its entire business model is being cheap as fuck with spending money?
The last company I worked for intelligently renewed their leases during the pandemic after sending everyome home “temporarily”. Three years later and they are requiring everyone go back into the office a minimum of two days a month. This applied to everyone who was within 50miles of an office regardless if they were hired as remote or if none of the rest of their team was even in the same state. The only reason to make this mandate is to make use of the office space they stupidly continued the lease on.
In less than a month I had a better paying permanently remote job. I’ll go back to an office in a coffin.
Execs making decisions like this are a red flag.
Office leases are a sunk cost, if there’s no value add to using it, don’t. Even a profit-chasing ghoul knows you don’t throw good money in after bad.

Ps: they could be doing this to lay off employees without severance, or to signal to shareholders that they’re still God and the rest of us are peasants, that would make more sense for the ghouls
Even better they renovated the offices and made them more “open concept/shared workspace/no assigned desk” offices with lockers to stuff your equipment in once you are off work. Built an online reservation system for it as well you were required to use.
It’s crazy to me that bigwigs see office space as a sunk cost, but not employees.
They’ll drop and burn employees like going through tissue paper, but useless buildings? Nah, better use it even if it’s worthless.
Having long time tenured employees does nothing but benefit a company since they can perform tasks that would take a new employee hours to weeks in minutes to days, hell, it even lets you employee less staff due to that efficiency that can only be acquired through experience. It baffles me how those at the top just refuse to think efficiently.
How did you come to the conclusion that I could have worked for Amazon based on what I posted and the related article?
