Amazon employees are furious about the end of remote work: 'Rather go back to school'
Briefly

"Amazon has announced 5 day RTO, which is unfortunate because I'm interested in working for a living, not live-action role playing and virtue signaling," CJ Felli, a system development engineer for Amazon Web Services, wrote on Linkedin. "If you have remote opportunities available, please message me. Nothing is off the table. I'd rather go back to school than work in an office again."
"For many of us, remote work was not just a convenience but a necessary shift towards a more flexible and balanced professional life. This abrupt change undermines the progress we've made in embracing diverse work styles and accommodating different personal needs," Reed wrote. "I hope Amazon will reconsider and find a way to support both their business needs and their employees' diverse work preferences."
"This is not 'going back' to how it was before. It's just going backward," said one employee, criticizing the return-to-office policy and expressing frustration at the new, more strict mandates that contradict the company's claims of prioritizing employee well-being.
"What ever happened to 'Striving to be Earth's Best Employer,'" another employee asked, highlighting the disconnect between Amazon's public commitments and the reality of the company's decision to mandate in-person work.
