Economics professor, meet corporate SVP:
"it’s time to disagree and commit. We’re here, we’re back—it’s working, I don’t have data to back it up, but I know it’s better."

- coffeebeqn 3y agoBeautifully persuasive
- dvlsg 3y agoAn interesting choice of words. "I don't have the data to back it up" seems to want to imply "we don't have the data at all". But I don't buy that Amazon, of all companies, doesn't have the data. I assume they have it, and it doesn't back what they're trying to push.
- luckydata 3y agowhy would you think Amazon has any data to support that notion? I work at Google and I can tell you for sure we don't. RTO is about how leaders feel about things, not about data.
- phillipcarter 3y agoThe vibes is the data.
- Spivak 3y agoAre you my current CEO? He accidentally let slip that he unilaterally is (trying to) force RTO for 200 people because he's lonely. Oh boo hoo get a social life outside of work. We all suddenly understood why he was not even bothering to engage with the near unanimous disagreement with it.
