Andy wants it, upper management may want it, and Amazon thinks it has more leverage in the hiring marketplace than it did 3 years ago.
That's the whole story here. It is very realpolitik. Amazon is a very data driven company, if the company finds out that recruiting or retention is becoming a serious issue due to this policy change then they will course correct.
That is all.
- captainkrtek 4y agoI agree with you, and believe it is based more on feeling and leverage than what’s best for the employee (obviously). However, In my experience at Amazon (going on 7 years), they are are slow to course correct or provide clarity. This guidance was handed down on a Friday, with no email, no forward notice to at least L8 or below leadership (Director), and relevant policy pages were unclear and hastily edited. This sent managers scrambling to provide answers to everyone panicked. And sends everyone off into the weekend with anxiety about their future. Its a non surprising but shitty feeling. Meanwhile we had an all hands meeting earlier in the week, this wasn’t even mentioned…
