Did Jeff Bezos, Satya Nadella, Lisa Su, and Jensen Huang tell their employees to take a hike, belitte their hard work as getting nothing done, freeze their wages and RSU grants, and say 9/10 love it? He-l no! Jassy and Garman lack Bezos experience... — read more
No way not doing RTO
I hate this place so much, but the pay is nice. We will fight RTO to the bitter end, and we will win. Otherwise, no choice but to deploy next steps, no going back now.

Massive Growth at Warmart!

The next wave of layoffs have already begun, and will continue through early 2025
There are simply far too many Managers with only 0-4 reports. Managers were also getting transferred to be under other Managers after silly reorgs that overcomplicate reporting. Each layer adds more meetings. And the level of incompetence of MANY... — read more

I am not from Amazon but many of my friends are! I hear from them all the time about how toxic work culture at Amazon is ! They complain but do not quit maybe because Amazon pays sh-t load of money. I wonder if the 5 day RTO really changes... — read more
That's clearly not for me
I work at Amazon/AWS. In general it's been a good run but the last year has been really tough. Yesterday's announcement about 5 day RTO made me realize one fact: I don't see myself as part of Andy Jassy's Amazon. I don't know when that day will come... — read more

Imagine commuting 45 minutes each way just to sit in front of a computer for 8 hours a day.
And make Chime video calls all day.
It all comes down to taxes and economics
