Paging Tyler durden on this mf
Any manager high up enough to be talking on a news channel doesn’t have the degree of interaction with workers to know what they think.

As if they care what the plebes think.
Amazon employees starting their own businesses in 3-2-1…
This was always the intention.
I’ve heard the “Elon to advertisers” managerial style is great for morale and retention
I’ll just leave this here.
Well… uhhh… that was Amazon’s plan. I thought we were on the same page.
Time to set up effigies on gibbets for totally peaceful protest purposes.
“Days of love”
That’s right about when I would start slacking off real hard.
“Please leave! If we fire you, we have to pay unemployment, but your replacements will be younger (less costly health problems) and will accept less pay. It’s win-win-win for us if you leave of your own accord!”
I know two senior programmers at Amazon who found new jobs rather than RTO. Within 24 hours after they left they got emails from recruitment identifying them as “boomerang candidates”, offered them a decent raise, and offered full time remote work.
This is nothing more than getting people to quit and hiring back key personnel lost in the process.
I’ve heard that this is the new type of layoffs big tech is doing. Massive layoffs that are required lower the stock price but people quitting is not news. So the best strategy to get rid of staff is to create a hostile work environment temporarily until you reach the right amount.
This is a really bad idea for long term health of a company. The people that stay are the ones that will struggle to find new jobs and the people that leave probably already have another job at a competing firm lined up.
It’s just straight up dumb but keeps the stock price high and the CEO gets his bonus.
So in this instance would quiet quitting lead to the desired result? Just doing the most subpar work until they’re forced to fire you with a severance…
Yes. Malicious compliance.
Break up big tech. Regulate monopolies before the cause the second great depression.
They will do whatever they can get away with.
Melian Dialogue: “the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must”
this is why collective action with 21st century employment is important. all of them could sit down. but they won’t because of humans constantly failing the prisoner’s dilemma.
Would continue to work from home until they fire me.
Would continue to sit in office applying for other jobs until they fire me.
