    5 day RTO is a stealth layoff. This is a feature, not a bug.

      It’s like reverse stack ranking. They’ll be left with the people that couldn’t find another job.

      Like many companies, they overhired in the last 4 years. Some of these people are due years of severance (my offer listed 2months for every year after 1 year), not to mention the vested stocks and other bonuses granted during this insane hot hire period.

      So how do you remove people not loyal to the company? The most hated mandate ever. Amazon is a company that doesn’t need people in the office. This is nothing more than screwing people over.

        No rank and file US-based employees at Amazon are getting years of severance. They don’t do that.

      Yep this has been the modus operandi for businesses who want to reduce workforce without having to pay for layoffs.
