This is bad. Both my neighbors work for Amazon and are freaking out right now. One is a Snr manager and the other is a Dev Project Team Lead with each having multiple years in ther role. Each stayed strong when RTO was mandated, insisiting that they would continue to WFH with their performance goals being the criteria for evaluation. Eventually, their managers agreed and they continued to WFH. But now, with this news, they are very worried. The Snr manager who reports to the VP, who also happens to be their mother, believes they might be in trouble as the VP retires this year. The Project Team Leader , daughter of the Snr Director who leads the department is also concerned for both herself and her dad. We all live on Oahu so I figured Id invite them over for some afternoon surfing/mai tais to cheer them up.
