Amazon employees: 'I'd rather go back to school than work in an office again'

I read about an Amazon SWE that was trying do as little as possible to not get fired or just get a severance. I wonder if this is the most effective way to weed out all those.

With 300K employees they likely have thousands of zombie wfh employees.

RTO drives away top performers who have the option to go anywhere. Is that worth it to weed out some low performers?

Where is the proof that all "top performers" want to WFH?

The point isn’t that high performers want to wfh and low performers want to rto. The point is that for the high performers who want to wfh, an rto mandate will make them consider other options.

The golden handcuffs at Amazon for top performers is really strong. I’ve heard SWE making $750K (with options) after 24 months of proving yourself.

That’s an $125K bonus every 120 days. Or $1000 a day to go into the office. lol
