I disagree with the layoff angle. Know who's quitting? The talent that can find another WFH job. Know who's staying?

OTOH, maybe Amazon's big enough to survive the brain drain.

Is the implication here that only untalented people would ever put up with working in an office?

I know it's not a commonly heard notion around these parts, but unlikely as it may seem, some people genuinely don't mind working in an office. Some even prefer it. Has nothing to do with talent, everything to do with preference and the level of compensation they get for doing it.

Yes?

If you don't have the skills or experience to sell yourself then obviously you don't have a lot of options.
