    Jassy told his employees that he spoke to scores of other CEOs and that “virtually all of them” preferred having their employees back in the office.

    CEOs try not to think they’re the center of the world, the challenge.

    I’ve gotten so much recruitment crap from Amazon. This kind of crap is why none of those worked out for them.

      I keep telling them I’m not interested, only to have someone new reach out. It’s frustrating. They don’t even pay that well.

      I guess if your desperate in the software development/DevOps industries, but even the smaller companies pay as much as they do.

      A large portion of their business relies on rapid manufacturing and delivery. They’re not concerned about the environment

        I’m not an expert in Amazon but I thought Jassy was CEO of AWS, which would be amazon web services. For the uninitiated, AWS is basically a hosting company - they don’t just provide web services for amazon.com.

        Being the CEO of a company that specializes in using the internet and making those workers come into an office is especially ghoulish.

    This is readily admitting he’s about to do what’s called Constructive Dismissal!

    Which means he will owe all remote workers their severance pay.

    I was looking at some of the Amazon postings near me, but they’re all down in Irvine.

    Pretty much the entire talents pool of LA is off limits to Amazon now.

    You know what’s probably not going to work out for you, Andy Jassy? The next proletariat uprising.

      That’s never going to happen.

      What really won’t work out for him is retention of top talent that values WFH.

    I kinda hate this shit tbh, what they are doing is paying us less and forcing us to move to more and more high cost areas to work “in the office”. I kinda honestly think back to the office is a way to lay off a ton of people with unemployment.
