Comment on Amazon tech workers leaving for other jobs in response to return to office mandate

Like many companies, they overhired in the last 4 years. Some of these people are due years of severance (my offer listed 2months for every year after 1 year), not to mention the vested stocks and other bonuses granted during this insane hot hire period.

So how do you remove people not loyal to the company? The most hated mandate ever. Amazon is a company that doesn’t need people in the office. This is nothing more than screwing people over.

So they’re not paying severance to employees they fire?

  Yes, but they’re making people quit instead. They don’t need to pay severance to employees who quit because of RTO.

  They are getting severance when terminated, unless for cause. My comment was, this is how they avoid it by forcing people to quit.

No rank and file US-based employees at Amazon are getting years of severance. They don’t do that.

  Yeah, that was a typo and my experience is limited towards the AWS side which is also facing this issue. But the numbers are there, some people have been at Amazon for a decade, so 20 months (if they had MY package of 2mos per year). Amazon was throwing everything at new hires, because they were making bank on their work.
