A family member of mine is fairly high up in Amazon and does something important with AWS but I have no idea what, and that’s exactly what he’s saying about these forced return to work initiatives. They over hired during the pandemic and now they want to cut the fat.

Yeah, 2021 and half of 2022 they were hiring like crazy.
The layoffs are no surprise. They over hired.
I guess the return to the office might be a way to make people quit so they won’t have to follow the WARN Act, but I’m not sure about it, as first people to switch jobs will be the most valuable ones.

But I thought workers were their family, with ping pong tables and snacks everywhere?

This site opens a popup asking to share info with 800+ marketing partners. Fuck no.

Euronews has done what The Independent did in the UK - went from being a brilliant source of news, to being a bit of a shambles. I used to watch the Euronews channel pretty much daily until they pivoted to a magazine show style of output. The website is just as bad.
A shame really.

SAP, the most forcedly convoluted and horrid amalgamation of acquired software, held together by a support team that barely know how it works, is forcing their workers to go back to the office, where they will communicate with everyone remotely.
Color me shocked.

SAP is so fucking boring too. Oh my fucking God I feel so bad for you, I’d rather listen to baby shark on repeat for eight hours a day.

Honestly I was positioning myself to be the irreplaceable SAP expert at my company because the software is so garbage that not many people knew or wanted to learn how to use it, and I wanted a foot in the door in the supply chain department.
Turns out when you tell your corporate bosses that their ideas don’t work, don’t work an added 20 hrs a week to compensate for their bad ideas and poor communication, and complain of harassment and treatment bias, they will just fire you. Without severance.
Those trainings were included as reasons for my firing. The ultimate reason for my firing? “Timeliness” because I used 2.5 days of my sick time over the course of 6 months.
They didn’t show up for my unemployment hearing. The hearing officer was so confused by my situation he told me to stop answering as if it was a hearing, and just tell him why I think they fired me.

What’s nice is that the government of Canada fucked up by switching to a new pay system based on PeopleSoft back in 2016 and the replacement that will be coming in a couple of years is made by… SAP!
