Fuck… I was doing coffee badging recently. 5 days is a lot to just drive to the office and back. I need to look for other dev jobs in Seattle that actually respect their employees, but the market is gonna be so cold after this announcement.
I have until January 2nd apparently.
At least they still haven’t said a minimum time in the office yet…
There are some excellent employers out there - I wish you the best of luck.
Your employer should respect you and the time you put in to producing for the company - sadly many currently don't.
My team and managers have been awesome with respecting my time. It’s ironic that Jassy wants to “operate like a startup” but won’t trust his management to make the best decisions so we work quickly.
"operate like a startup" usually means they want 60+ hour weeks
Start ups give significant equity
I'm waiting to see how the industry shakes out in a few months and see where things land.
100% though I'm pissed. The way they've handled RTO has been abysmal.
I'm somewhere else but have kept Amazon in the back of my mind as a possible next place, partly out of curiosity to see what it's like from the inside. The culture has some fun elements. No longer. This moves them out of the 2nd tier and into the 3rd, and honestly I'd wonder about anyone there who's not chained to a visa.
Do you imagine you can wait out layoffs and people quitting, then go back to remote once their quiet quota is reached?
They didn’t do that for the past 3 years. They hired 15% more in 2023.
what happens january 2nd?
Quiet-quitting.
Nah, that happens today. January 2nd is double secret quiet quitting. Or as it should be said, acting your wage.
