Comment on Amazon's strict RTO policy is costing it top tech talent, according to internal document and insiders

We continue to believe that teams produce the best results when they’re collaborating and inventing in person,

First of all, that’s 100% bullshit.

Secondly, what about individuals‽ Ya know, the people that make up “the team.”

Studies have shown that individuals produce the best results when they’re working alone and not bothered regularly by office bullshit.

…but let’s get more specific, because Amazon is talking about innovation and “inventing”: Study after study has shown that the kind of “group brainstorming” that Amazon is referring to here produces worse results that having individuals work on ideas alone then pooling them together afterwards.

Literally the opposite of what they’re claiming.

Amazon: Believe your own bullshit at your peril. Well, at the loss of tech talent I guess 🤷
