If you actually bothered to read the article he makes it clear that he moved before any of those announcements, and that specific announcement you're linking to matches his timeline perfectly for when he started discussions with his leadership and when he started to actually apply.
- cowsandmilk 3y agoa) the article is about a female, not male b) the article claims the RTO order was in March, but as the linked blog post shows, it was mid-February
- helsinkiandrew 3y agoAccording to the article: > In March, less than a week after I moved, Amazon issued its RTO order. Jassy announced that he thought that return to the office was best for the company in February and that RTO timetable was being planned group by group and details would be "finalized in the coming weeks".
- tedivm 3y agoDo you really think that planning a cross country move only took them a week? That would be pretty damn impressive.
- helsinkiandrew 3y ago> Do you really think that planning a cross country move only took them a week? No, but it was clear from Jassy's announcement middle of February (presumably before she actually moved) that it was almost certain she would eventually be called back to the office, hence the headline/quote that she had no idea doesn't seem credible (below). I'm arguing she continued to move knowing that there would be a very high chance she'd be called to the office and was ready to quit anyway. > I moved states 5 days before we got the return-to-office order at Amazon, so I quit. I had no idea we'd be forced back into the office.
- coffeedan 3y ago>>> At that time, Amazon's internal messaging was that we would be remote indefinitely I think people confuse “indefinitely” with “forever”. They are not the same.
