Employee quality of life should be a business priority. mandatory nonsense is a detriment to production and company
Because Google already tried it and lost a whole ton of people.
I literally knew employees who booked it out of there when Google floated it 3 years ago. They had basically billed WFH as the new way forward, then turned around and said you all need to be in the office after everyone moved away from their previous offices.
It did NOT go well for Google, and they learned their lesson.
It’s amazing that Amazon, with all its internal chest thumping about being “pioneers”, went to a backward mode of work, with no real backbone from the executives against Jassy orders. The bigger madness is Amazon’s entire reason for existence is that you don’t need to go to a store to buy. Or you don’t need to build your own infrastructure but “go remote” and yet apparently you can’t work without your commute-tired sweaty ass on a depressing cubicle seat 5 days a week.
Now that’s how you poach top talent from your peers!
I’d work for Google in office and for 20% of the normal pay if I had the chance.
This is because, unlike Amazon, Google actually wants talent to stick around.
Imagine getting high roaded by Google of all companies
The company that forces deliver drivers to piss in bottles and not listen to the radio are being jerks when it comes to RTO. Google and Microsoft can run circles around Amazon on this point.
Google and Microsoft ready to scoop up the top employees Amazon is about to bleed
Except they already did this, mandated that everyone HAS to be in the office 3 days a week for “productivity” reasons.
Not only that, but they killed floating desk reservations and mandated you have to goto a specific office you’re assigned to, regardless if your team is there or not.
On top of that, they track badge access and send you and your managers a nasty gram about it. Still don’t come in? It then goes to your VP, essentially putting your managers on blast with any arrangements you made with them.
Technology wise, what has Amazon actually accomplished? AWS I guess? Alexa was a flop. Prime Video seems ready to flop. Kindle was only ever OK.
Google isn’t doing well internally in the first place. Doing something as braindead as this would be a huge mess.
This is somewhat contradictory to their 2023 statement when they brought people back and started checking badge access aggressively. I believe they mandate three days a week currently? Which was an adjustment over their previous statements. I don’t think I would trust their CEO’s statements at this point.
And that’s how Amazon has their best talent won over by competitors.
Fight, WFH for skilled employees should be a right. Lets fight for it, take power back for the workers. Next , single payer universal healthcare and employees will truly have a choice.
Of course not. They don’t want to do a reduce headcount yet. Amazon does.
