The Amazon CEO is showing the weakness of the company position. When you need to fire people, you just do it. Threatening to fire people is an overt signal of weakness. Just like a bully on the playground. It is time to start calling some bluffs. At worst these companies will try to make examples of a handful. There will be no mass firings.
I can’t wait for everyone to RTO. I have my GoPro set up and hidden. I don’t want to miss any of the fights over drop in spaces. WorldStar!!!
" They tracked your keystrokes and listened to your teams calls"
No, they didn't.
You're giving "them" far too much credit. They can't figure out how to accurately track badge swipes. C'mon man.
To h3ll with ScAmazon’s Machiavellian CEO!
Sad thing about this story is the Amazon CEO being quoted as saying he "talked to all the other CEOs and they are doing it."
Since when did Amazon care what anyone ELSE was doing? Not caring is why they are Amazon, and not history. I guess the Peter Principle applies to corporations also.
People think coming on here and touting their 10 hour work days, higher productivity, better quality of life etc. working from home like it means anything to T. Newsflash, everyone is going to be RTO… sooner than later.
All you RTO crybabies man up and quit of your so unhappy………ah your not thaaat unhappy….pathetically unskilled
Over 30,000 Amazon employees signed a petition to get it to change... there already is large-scale pushback at amazon. let's see if they fire the holdouts.
Yes, but didn't their CEO already told them "you don't like, then quit?", in fact Amazon is being extra effed up about it, they're telling people they have to "voluntarily resign". How is it voluntarily if you're being told to?
I was able to create a hotspot and take my laptop with me on the golf cart and still appear present. Now I can’t do that and I’m pi---d. I’m gonna have to give up a side job too. Probably never see my mistress again that I met at happy hour. Su-ks to be me.
Amazon CEO is not playing. He is more than willing and able to fire any employee for non-compliance to his RTO order. Digging deeper, all CEO's in the US have been put on notice about the financial tsunami approaching for corporate real estate if building vacancies are not corrected immediately. The CEO's have responded with great enthusiasm, vowing to reverse the telecommuting trend.

I always thought I would have to go back to the office part time ( I worked at home a couple of days a week prior to covid), I just didn’t guess it would be in another state 1,200 miles away.
The studies are in. They tracked your keystrokes and listened to your teams calls. The data was overwhelming that you were not at your computer for many hours per day hence all major corporations and even the tech companies demand that we come back to the office. No way out of it.
Can they do that?
It’s not a crack down it’s a get back to work message.
It is called RTO. Most large companies are doing it. Not just AT&T.
What in the world does this have do with AT&T layoffs?
