Amazon exec says it’s time for workers to ‘disagree and commit’ to office return — “I don’t have data to back it up, but I know it’s better.”::“We’re here, we’re back. It’s working,” an Amazon Studios head said in a meeting, before acknowledging a lack of evidence.

    Amazon exec is about to lose good employees to other places that pay better and have better benefits (like work from home days).

      Amazon exec doesn’t give a shit. Their whole model with tech workers is to recruit them based on the “prestige” of working for Amazon, dunno increasingly more talking on them, burn them out before they start asking for real raises, rinse and repeat.

        At some point the “prestige” of working for Amazon will become less attractive than having a life…

      Amazon, the store, is already in a downward spiral of quality. Other stores like Shein, Ali Baba, Wish, etc. are slowly gaining market worldwide. Plenty of people are preferring quality brick and mortar stores than online shopping more and more. It’s small but it is a trend.

        I’m not so sure. Black Friday shopping barely kept up with inflation this year, but cyber Monday shopping was up over 12%, so while I’m with you in the minority that prefer a real quality store, it seems most folks don’t.

        The more I hear about how crappy Amazon are treating their employees the less I want to buy from Amazon again.

        True.
        And not only for the quality. In the last weeks I noted that, aside being basically impossible to look for a product even querying with the full brand and product name/code, that buying the same item from the brand own on-line store is ofter less expensive than buying it from Amazon (even with Prime) also accounting for the shipping costs.
