My guess is that by going fully onsite, they can probably avoid layoffs entirely. The majority of tech roles are hybrid or remote so the departures are going to be often and steady which will naturally select out anyone not interesting in making their life Amazon. They want employees that live and breath Amazon and this is how they get that (or just keep desperate people).

Well yeah, driving people to quit to save money on severance from the impending layoffs is the whole point of forcing them to return to the office

The hilarious thing is that the first ones to go will be the high performers. They’re executing a dumb as shit layoff that will set them far behind competitors.

They should really open just an absolute shit load of individual constructive dismissal cases.

They should really keep a poster about Amazon in their offices permanently.
