    That’s one way to thin your workforce after you overhired for the covid boom.

    What an out of touch wind bag. Oh sorry I meant douche bag. I’ve literally never seen a single positive story in the news about Amazon like ever. Plus their shit is filled with cheap Chinese ripoffs, exactly why I stopped using eBay too.

      I think it’s the intersection of a lot of different issues (most things are), and most of them are about keeping workers beaten down and under control, but real estate is definitely a big part of the push we’ve seen in the media to suggest that remote work is somehow bad and going to go away.

    Holy crap. He seriously has the most punchable looking face I’ve seen in months.

    I am just so damn sick of every CEO.

    Amazon has done way worse stuff to employees and they’ve not rebelled. They will 100% hold fast on 3 days in the office and be happy to see the back of anyone who leaves over it.

    I’m not even talking about the abuses of drivers and warehouse workers. I’m talking about their tech offices. They are notorious for their hard driving long hours, darwinian culture, and aggressive managers.

    A lot of people were bragging about using their mouse wigglers, running errands while working or having multiple remote jobs during the pandemic. What did they think it’s going to happen?
