Amazon employees are outraged by a new warning about individual office attendance: ‘Is this supposed to scare people?’::undefined
In 2010 I converted my companies to 100% WFH and I sold our office spaces. It has been smooth sailing ever since and our employee retention has been amazing.
IMHO, if you need your employees corraled in the office to effectively manage, then you are just a bad manager.
Senior management made the case that my unit didn’t have the appropriately documented KPIs to work from home. I made the point that we’d been operating under the existing KPIs for the last 15+ years in the office without issue so the only obvious metric missing was “butts in seats”.
While nobody clapped I’m still employed and the team does have WFH agreements in place.
not all heroes wear capes!
I’ll save you the click to know the details:
On Wednesday, some Amazon employees received an email accusing them of not adhering to the company’s RTO policy, which requires coming into the office at least 3 times a week, according to a copy of the email obtained by Insider.
“We are reaching out as you are not currently meeting our expectation of joining your colleagues in the office at least three days a week, even though your assigned building is ready,” the email stated.
Some of the email recipients have said the warning was sent to them by mistake because they’ve been coming into the office as required. According to an internal ticket, seen by Insider, at least one employee raised the possibility of a technical bug in data generation and processing, saying it’s “not clear” why they received this email.
I miss the days where everyone was working from home, traffic is horrible again
For no good reason!
Keeps McDonald’s and corporate landlords afloat. That’s the reason.
I have taken to calling all of them “landleeches”. It feels more fitting.
Sounds like you are traffic lol.
I am haha but I work in manufacturing so I can’t work from home, but now everyone that could is being forced back which just makes it bad for everyone for no benefit. The break room snacks are all gone, the toilets are all pooped and all of our meetings are still on zoom anyway so what’s the point
Thank
There’s a few engineering departments in my company. Mine is 100% remote, where some are hybrid. And while all departments have job openings, mine gets 20x more applications because we get really qualified people in random places.
Sounds like a great way to lose good employees.
Another silent layoff. RTO is a grift.
this is the 15th time ive seen that gif since i made my lemmy account
edit: nvm apparently its a bug with thunder (my mobile lemmy client)
