Survey: 73% of Amazon workers are considering quitting after 5-day in-office mandate
Nearly 3 in 4 Amazon workers say they're considering looking for a new job following CEO Andy Jassy's recent memo announcing a full-time return-to-office.
Just like a large number of people consider moving out of the country after presidential elections. Few are serious about it.
Yea but moving out of country doesn't normally come with you also getting to work less hours for more pay. Leaving Amazon for a competitive offer does.
High performers can do whatever they want, giving them a reason to leave like this is silly. Treat your employees like they are too immature to balance their work and life and you will end up with immature employees.
At the end of the day the question is do you want results or do you want butts in seats. If you run a factory it's fair to want butts in seats. If you run a creative endevor you should want results.
Working remotely from another continent crowd checking in.
It’s not an apples to apples comparison. The fact is that many Amazon employees can make 25-50% more, with better work-life balance, better benefits, a less toxic environment, and the ability to work from home.

When my last company said we had to go back 3 days a week I found a new job. I agonized over the decision for days because I had been there 8 years, but knew I would be unhappy going back. Am happy as a lamb now though and work fully remotely for a company who's nearest office is over 2000 miles away. Best career decision I've ever made
Except switching jobs is far easier, less risky and usually the only way to get an actual salary bump?... yes, "just like"
Cause one's way too easier compared to the other.
Getting fired from Amazon is a right of passage in the tech world. They constantly shed workers due to their turnover goals and those people can get jobs pretty much anywhere. I bet the prospects are even better when people quit.
Experts say strict office attendance policies may be a way to get people to quit and avoid the cost of laying them off.
What else would explain it?
It sounds like you are going get rid of people for cheap.
But it’s like going to a nude beach. It is never the people that you hope it is.
Exactly, your best employees are the ones who will most easily get new jobs.
Stupidity?
I wonder when we'll really start to see the numbers showing how good office workers are all getting the better wfh jobs while the in office jobs are being done by what's left over.
The numbers.
Smart business about to hire all the top talent.
Rest of us will have to suffer unless we all move to rock corpos boat.
These parasites don't understand any other language. Hurt their profits by switching jobs
Yeah unfortunately I think Amazon is about to get some solid data on how many of those people who say they're gonna leave actually leave. I suspect the stats will be...disappointing.
Numbers wise you are right prolly... How many people can switch jobs and they are just going to other mega corps.
Top talent will leave tho for better QoL for sure that's harder to measure and management will never admit it anyway
When I hear this, I just wish everyone got together and silently refused. Not quit. Not day that they aren't going to do that. Just not show up. Make HR have to deal with everyone ignoring it
