From Jan 2025, all Amazon employees will RTO, says Andy Jassy, the CEO. Elon Musk DOGE mandates

No one cares about employee well-being? Why is Andy Jassy following Elon Musk and punishing his staff? What happens when these highly stressed staff are dragged to work? all 5 days? What happens to their emotional well-being, engagement, and motivation? Where is the employee advocacy group hiding? Not sure these Musks and Jassy's are hurting DEI programs too by such RTO fiats!

From Jan 2025, all Amazon employees will RTO, says Andy Jassy, the CEO.
The Strategic Organizing Center (SOC) survey, which polled 1,065 Amazon employees in the US through the month of November, says 48% applied for new jobs.
59% of the polled were hired remotely.
DOGE co-chief Elon Musk asked all Federal staff to RTO all five days a week.
Being at Office means no slacking, even when your manager sits in a different office and hardly 20% of your team members you work with occupy the same location office as yours.
Where is the problem?
When half of your staff were hired remotely and were given a promise to remain remote or hybrid forever (even Andy Jassy had supported hybrid as a norm and future of work flexibility at hashtag#Amazon), they feel cheated now.
Not that, before Covid restrictions, 5 days at work was not the norm, and no one had any problem.
When did this remote/hybrid arrangement turn into the worker's rights?
hashtag#TCS in India had made huge promises during covid restrictions that 25% of existing staff and 75% of those hired during the pandemic restrictions would always work remotely even after Covid is gone. But what happened immediately after? TCS CHRO Milind Lakkad asked all staff to RTO!
Why should an employee feel cheated by TCS now?
Remote work was a privilege, thanks to Covid. Staff had the best of their work-life balance, saving hugely on time and money spent in commuting to work and in traffic!
Post-pandemic, schools opened, and kids were all at school, all 5 days, and then all online ed-tech faced the brunt of the return to normal.

How many of these remote work-seeking parents support educating their kids remotely/online?

Imagine who will be the biggest loser if all remote/hybrid staff are called to RTO all 5 days.
Obviously an employee, right? No wonder they are feeling cheated by Andy Jassy's and Milind Lakkad's of the world. You can hate Amazon and TCS.
Are they worried about their 48% of staff applying for jobs? Not at all.
For reasons like there are no jobs for 48% of them. Maybe barely 4% will find a job sooner if they have prized skills and when they agree to take a pay cut as a trade-off for flexibility.
Has this RTO mandate sent employees emotional shivers? Are they demotivated and showing poor productivity and work ethics at work upon RTO?
No survey will tell you all this!
This transition shall also be normalized in 2025...Those who run away from the 5-day RTO norm would find their alternatives, but certainly companies would want all of them RTO, unless you are a hashtag#Dropbox, etc kind of company. .
