  Jassy told his employees that he spoke to scores of other CEOs and that “virtually all of them” preferred having their employees back in the office.

  CEOs try not to think they’re the center of the world, the challenge.

    In other unbiased polling, the wolf spoke to all the other wolves in the pack and they all prefer that the sheep be eaten.

    “Should workers be subjected to pointless and dehumanizing drudgery that serves no practical purpose? Find out what this panel of five overpaid CEOs think, after the break.”

    Workers should unionize. I don’t know if its better but I know it’s something they hate

    I spoke with virtually all of the workers, and none of them want to pay rent. Yet here we are.

    CEOs can get bent through a videocall

  Amazon employees who refused to relocate near main offices of their teams were told they either have to find a new job internally or leave the company through a “voluntary resignation.”

  How dumb does he think people are? This just makes me angry because they’re probably going to get away with it too.

    Why would you quit? Continue working from home while lining up a new job. Or, if they don’t specify how long you have to be in on those 3 days, just clock in and go back home an hour later. Game the system, make it work for you. They do.

      If you’re 10+ hours away clocking in for 2 minutes isn’t possible.

      If you’re ever in this situation, look up constructive dismissal. Basically its better to stay home and be “fired” and refuse the voluntarily resignation. That being said, the USA has a lot less protections for employees then Canada or Europe but it’s good to be informed anyway.

  Get bent, Andy.

    For some reason, I read this as

    Get bendy, Andy.

  More likely that it doesn’t work out for Jassy. Certain Amazon units are underperforming under his leadership, and I wouldn’t be shocked if his time at Amazon didn’t last that much longer.

    You can only artificially raise the price of real estate for so long.

  A voluntary resignation? Good luck with that!

  That’s a really nice way of threatening to take away the livelihood and health insurance of people doing work for you.

  This is readily admitting he’s about to do what’s called Constructive Dismissal!

  Which means he will owe all remote workers their severance pay.

      Well, personally I’m voting for a fall off of something that lasts long enough for him to be terrified and feel helplessness before he hits the ground.

      But a team of ravenous wolverines would be ok too.
