Comment on Most Amazon workers considering job hunting due to 5-day in-office policy: Poll

This is just Amazon’s way of cutting employees without having to pay severances/unemployment. Those workers looking for new 100% WFH jobs are in for a rude awakening. The market is not what it was a couple of years ago. Tons of companies have moved back to onsite or a hybrid model, requiring 1-2 days in office per week.

And if you’re in IT, good luck. Thousands of IT layoffs this year alone, so there’s a lot of competition in that field. My job forced us back to a 3 days in-office per week policy about a year ago, but we were getting a new director who promised more flexibility so I decided to just passively look for jobs here and there versus really trying. I now wish I had focused more aggressively on looking. Ah well, 'least I still have a relatively reasonable job, which is more than many can say.

Anyway, good luck to them. Fuck these parasitic C Suites and fuck this corporate and governmental anti-WFH movement.
