Leaked messages show Amazon will force a 'voluntary resignation' on employees failing to relocate near their team 'hubs'::undefined
Why not save money on office space by letting those employees to work from their home?
Because they can't control them at home.
I've never felt more under control by the company I worked for than when my team was all on a Slack channel even though we were all WFH.
Just curious, how does being in a Slack channel feel more like being controlled than being in an office?
The project we were working on required all members to be available to answer questions from other team members right away and this happened a lot, so you couldn't just wander off and do something else around the house or your absence would be immediately noticeable. At the office it was easy to disappear into the bathroom for awhile or take a nap in the sick room or head down to the food court in the basement of the building.
