Amazon forcing employees to return to the office 5 days a week

[Devilinurear]

Man was so racist Hitler wrote him a fan letter. Not surprised he did this

 

[Devilinurear]

Amazon was already at 4 days a week and they tracked people precisely too. This just means Amazon needs people to quit, quiet layoffs.

Only the do 4 days a week
The office people were always 5 days

I swear y’all want max pay for minimum work. There’s a give and take in all of this and truth be told, the workforce negates the take they get from all the giving. This system can’t survive without poverty. Just depends on what part of the poverty line you comfortable living in. Again, the workers had all the power at the onset of COVID and folks bytched so much about being forced inside and the “we got to work” instead of using it as a bargaining chip to get what they wanted permanently.

They just want people to quit so it doesn't look like layoffs or firings

You sound like one of those haters that hated remote work. How did you automatically assume this from the article like the people working from home isn't more efficient? This is just a way to lay off more people without the PR stunt and I hope it burns Amazon

Nah, I can see a ton of companies bringing this back. I hope not, but I can see companies following suit on this

There are multiple people who want this, I'm sure.

Speaking personally, what the pandemic told me is that the 8-hour work day for most office people is a sham. The vast majority of one's day-to-day work in an office setting can be executed in 4-6 hours (not counting meetings or special projects, etc.)

Who the dumb smart nikka that is booing? The work schedule prior to that was 10-16 hrr, 6 days a week. If just going back into the office got mf’s wanting to commit that, I can only imagine if that was the schedule they were reverting back to

Selective recognition of history, combined with, you know, the other thing, making it very end vogue to shyt on Henry Ford.

By most accounts I've read, he was a real piece of shyt, but anyone shytting on him for the concept of the eight hour/five day work week clearly hasn't read up on what labor was like beforehand. In fact, most issues with work expectations now can probably be rationalized as multiple attempts to work around those parameters to get closer to the way it apparently used to be.

Amazon are going to blow up my spot because I can see my company starting to enforce this.

 

[Ghost Utmost]

I was offered a chance to work from home but I turned it down.

I don't have the personality type that can do something as annoying as work when I have all my fun shyt right here.

That’s all it is. They want to justify having all them buildings. What’s the point of having buildings with no people in them?

and don't forget, other industries count on people leaving the house everyday spending money during that commute to and from work.

It's a soft layoff tactics lol the reality is once the big boys start implementing this....it will go further down the line.

Actually, I’m wfh rn so no I’m not. But I’m also adult to know if they want me to work in office, I only got two options (quit or take my ass to work). bytching about it constantly online will not change that, especially since I’m a Fed employee. Unless you’re irreplaceable or desired by others in your industry, take your ass into the office. Or you can quit. Make the decisions easy for the higher ups. I promise you I wish it wasn’t like this but this is the reality. So deal with it. And you really think Amazon will burn? Mf’s would rather see you fired than lose their precious order in 10 minutes in order to receive by 5PM Prime membership

Completely agree. No argument from me there. But this reminds me of folks who worked for Google/Meta who got enraged when they were getting paid salaries that jives with living in Silicon Valley but were living in CACs Only, WY and companies started shifting them salaries to match their locality. I knew some Feds who got away with it till they got found about. Sold houses and the whole nine to get out of DC now living in apartments cause the remote and WFH option wasn’t negotiated when they came onboard and was only temp due to the pandemic.
