    Yikes. Amazon must really hate that their employees might be able to use the bathroom without their knowledge and permission, huh?

    They can take the “may” out of that verbiage because they have been proven to do this already.

      They “may” lose employees to other companies that pay the same but offer WFH.

          Those jobs pay more, not less. They trust you more so they give you more leeway.

        I fully agree with your sentiment.

        But the frustrating reality that Amazon is exploiting is almost no other companies pay as much as Amazon and allow full remote work. Even less if you’re one of the thousands of people on a work visa.

          The progression isn’t Amazon -> normal role at normal company, it’s Amazon -> high growth startup or company that will worship your knowledge. Startups have a higher ceiling and the major company role may be more prestigious.

          Amazon is going to push their best people out the door.

    Say what you will about the mandate itself, but do many employers promote employees not following mandates? I get just get fired if not following mandates. Most often mandates are mandated. Ive never knowingly been on a date with a man, but if I did it would also be a mandate.

      I thought only a month ago they were threatening to fire those who didn’t return to the office.

      That’s my plan. I’m sitting here staring at a principal promotion in the face and I’m not sure I want it. I’m ridiculously overburdened as it is, and I’m not sure I can take more of that. So, I guess I’ll keep staying home until they force me to find a job somewhere else.
