    As an Amazon employee…the man blatantly lied about the figures for those happy to RTO. He probably got them by seeing that ~10% of corporate staff are in the remote advocacy channel, and assumed that everyone else was…happy?

    Regardless, Amazon is known as a place that values data above anything else. If you are a fresh grad PM and you’re caught fudging or misrepresenting numbers to suit a narrative, guess what happens to you. You are more than likely PIP’d or fired

    I’d say that Matt Garman should be fired for lying about the data, but given that Jassy has a habit of lying about figures also, the rot is at the top.

      I think people working at amazon and shopping at amazon, both without clear necessity, are part of the problem.

        As someone that has worked for/with several small companies, including those involved in wellness and promoting mental health, that’s a load of shit. Lots of employers are ruthless and evil, including many of the ones people here work for. Amazon is no different, they’re just much larger.

          You have exactly the attitude of someone able to work for a monster like amazon. Unnecessary aggressive and condescending.

          Thanks for making my point.

            1 out of every 169 people work for Amazon. Your stance is that they’re all evil.

            How privileged you must be to have loads of employment options at your fingertips.

            Your comment has the hallmarks of the ignorance that the average Lemmy user has…
