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

  Fair enough. All the business owners I’ve met have said something to the effect of “my way or the highway” about it. So I personally just aligned myself with a job where the bosses “my way” is the way I prefer.

  In my case, work from home.

  My current job doesn’t even have a physical office. We’re all work from home. I like it.

    I’m a bit more pro hybrid but only because I feel new people need a steady mentor and training at the start of thier careers at the company. How do you training works for new people on full remote?

      I’m not new in my career, when I started, my training was a couple of days on a full-day teams call with my direct manager, where he showed me the ropes of how we do what we do with the tools we have.

      I think it was 3 or 4 days for me, until I had grasped enough of the basics to properly adapt to their way of doing things.

      Within a week or so, I was pretty much up to speed. Like with any job, there’s specifics that I learned as I went, but I got the broad strokes during the first week.

      I imagine anyone that’s green will need more mentorship that I did. I’m fairly senior in my position, so many times I’m on the other side of mentorship. It’s been a while since I’ve been green.

        Ah I remember needed 6 months of oversight. I guess full day teams calls would basically be the same.
