Amazon 5 days RTO 😅

Screenshot please

I hung out in that channel for a year after I left just to enjoy not being part of the shit show, wish I could see it today.

That’s what they want. Layoffs without severance. Do not be fooled. The economy is collapsing fast. Trump’s return is imminent now. Brace yourselves.

Yeah and you know what, at this point I want it too. Why stay now. Instead of trying to stick it up Jassy's ass, I can just start living a better life

Agree with lbejsksbsz. The fed is always too late to cut rate and stock market is probably gonna take a 40% dive. Hope it's a fast one w/ more jobs on the bounce back rather than a constant layoff streak.

No, in fact they are going to start doing at-home foot massages for software engineers

what a question! Looks like someone on Blind thinks engineers are a special group exempt from company policy and bureaucracy. This applies to everyone except probably execs.

@lykkeli execs are the most affected by this. lower level engineers are just hired to code; so long that you do your job you're technically valuable. execs are there to fight political battles. facetime and showing up is far more important for them. imagine a decision was made and you weren't in the room, as an exec, you're fucked.

That’s the nervous laugh. He’s laughing about how bad and stupid it is

It's one of those laughs that you do when you get shot in the stomach and are about to die

That’s how I feel right now, I’ve been coding all day, my fucking eyes hurt and are bothering me, then I got this news to remind me how fucked we all are. 2024 - worst possible timeline

Nah, we get paid 🥜 so the only good things we have is the possibility to work remotely. If Microsoft takes that away, many—I mean, MANY— will quit. Offices also have very little space for all people in payroll, so they’d need to lease a lot of additional office space to accommodate everyone, and budgets are too tight for that. Almost every penny is going towards AI initiatives.

Msft is delusional. If you quit Microsoft, where else you go to?

“Lending Club” ironic shut up lmao

It’s so fucking over. 😭

Mandatory RTO is unlikely to happen at remote-first companies. It's the ones that are currently hybrid that are likely the next targets.

FB is going to follow, and then Goog… RIP

😂

Damn it. If there was the equivalent of Reddit Gold on here, I'd give it to you.

Evenings too

I thought about this too haha. Self awareness score = 0

Working remotely makes communication so much difficult. My work efficiency was terrible in last 4,5 years. Tons of coasters who I depend on, so difficult to do my job and other peoples work. To me, honestly, it’s a dream come true.

I wish we would do the same RTO

Saying you wish everyone would RTO is an admission you suck at your job

Amazon is not a tech company. It’s a 💩 company… just like AT&T.

I mean, you’re not wrong. It’s a paycheck. Not gonna ruffle my feathers, I don’t hold any shares. I sell that trash.

So to expand on that and because Amazon isn’t a tech company, they don’t care how they treat their white collar labor nor do they care about attracting talent. They got 4th tier talent and now they will get 6th tier talent. That’s all they need to keep the lights on. However, their tech will continue to depreciate and they will lose their market share in most areas they are dominant in. For a similar use case, see GE. Before and after Jack Welch.
