This might be the nr 1 reason.

The hidden layoff round is also high on that list if you ask me. They call everyone back to the office, the people that dont want/cant will not adhere, and thus be fired without the companies having to pay severance.

As an amazonian, this has come up during the five day RTO discussion. As a manager, I can't imagine a more obvious way to destroy the service that I help run and then really risk losing customer trust.

I we are all cogs at some point but I really have trouble being this cynical.

Absolutely and no publicly traded company is going to admit it.

It's a layoff, but a really poor one losing exactly the people you don't want to lose.
