Corporations don’t care about people. Amazon doubly so
I'm a 64-year-old Amazon employee. Retirement wasn't even on my radar, but now I have to leave due to RTO mandates.

Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives

I don’t disagree on a general scale but in relation to this post it isn’t the rich forcing a lot of teams back to work. It’s people in management positions that are over valued and unable to provide an effective workspace without being over their workers shoulders. There’s always the argument the building owners who rent their spaces are the ones paying to get RTO more advertisement space, but in the end it’s the middle class doing it to itself.

The big commercial real estate investors are on the boards of these companies. They stand to lose.

Becoming the norm in Corporate America, if it isn’t already. Every employee is disposable. It doesn’t matter what you do. It doesn’t matter how good you are. It doesnt matter how loyal you are. You are disposable.
There is no social contract anymore between employers and employees. “It’s just business” is a cop out to wriggle away from ethics – but it is now the law of the land.
