I am glad this is happening. Fuck these people. Fuck em' hard.
Common theory l, that I have heard is that if business owns their office space then it's value is inherently tied to profit margins. If office goes unused, value will drop, which affect bottom line, which affects boards willingness to pay out large CEO bonuses. So getting employees back into the office becomes vital for the leadership.
IMO it's worse than this. It's likely to do with Seattle real estate only, because Amazon has their HQ in Seattle, most of the STeam is in Seattle, and it's where most of the big decisions are focused. There is an acronym that has existed at Amazon for decades, NEWS (Not Everyone Works in Seattle). Sadly, like many Amazonian things, they're not really a thing any more...
Seems right. I have a friend who works for Amazon and lives in Portland, OR. They're asking them to relocate to Seattle to RTO. Now they're debating if they even want to stay at the company. Supposedly they have until EOY to decide.

I hope a significant number of them get new jobs and quiet quit to get that double paycheck for as long as they can.
