Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Remote work isn't working out for tech companies, RTO is. Oh, you want evidence? How about, um, Amazon made more money in 2022 than in 2019 (news.ycombinator.com)

Yep. It's insane every time Jassy says that it's to increase productivity. It's so insane that he's stopped saying that at this point, and now basically says it's "because I made the call, and you have to follow it". Amazon claims that they are a data driven, "Day 1" company, but clearly this is not the case anymore, if they ever were.

Enforcing your will on the workforce is more important than profit.

Or more "charitably", this short-term hit to profits is required to stem moves towards more workforce autonomy.
