Amazon warns workers to come back into the office

Though Amazon is known to hire people just so they can fire them during the next cycle of rank and yank, so they'll probably just fire those people and let the people they actually hired to do work stay full-remote.

I wish they made gaming that more explicit in their hiring. Like, treat the job as a temp thing, unless you want to aggressively climb ranks.

I think they're doing a pretty good job at that already, given their PR.

I have never worked for Amazon and I am sure there are excellent teams within Amazon where one can find good work opportunities and healthy environment but I'd be really hesitant about taking an offer from them if it were to be presented to me.

No hard feelings, that is a particularly hard problem to solve. /s

I wonder if/when they’ll be desperate enough to hire people who solve their leetcode problems, but sub-optimally (eg O(N^2))
