This article seems to be more about warehouse workers than corporate workers. The warehouse workers have no choice but to come to the office. I do think they deserve more pay and benefits though. Amazon is pointing at what they’re providing as being competitive or industry leading, but that hides the reality of working at a grueling warehouse where everyone is pushed to physical limits and measured in brutal ways. That type of work takes a toll. And I don’t mean just the people who have experienced injuries and filed lawsuits, but everyone. They will probably all have some lasting health impact. They should be compensated much more for how Amazon runs those warehouses. As for the return to office aspect: if employees - especially those with families that live in homes that are only affordable or available further away - have to lose 1-2 hours commuting each way, then yes they do deserve additional compensation to make up for the RTO policy. I’m sure Andy Jassy won’t recognize that or offer it up though. He and Jeff Bezos share a view that work life balance is “debilitating” (https://www.savvydime.com/jeff-bezos-believes-work-life-balance-is-a-debilitating-phrase-that-gen-z-has-latched-onto/ https://www.savvydime.com/jeff-bezos-believes-work-life-bala...) and Bezos has used code phrases before that suggest he favors young workers - which may be why this policy will hurt older workers and those with children the most.
