> If I ran a company, and I have, I would want the ability to require that people work at the office. (I didn't always require it; in fact, my last company was 100% remote for 21 years.) I wouldn't feel like I had to defend that policy to anyone.
This is tangential at best. It all depends on the original understanding of when an employee came on board.
If you hired someone with the understanding that it's a remote position and there is nothing that requires to be present in the office (e.g. lab work or doctor/nurse), then if you want them to suddenly come in, you do need to defend it.
Not doing so makes you an ass.

Thanks. I tend to agree with you. I just realized as I was reading your point that I am assuming most Amazon employees were hired with either no explicit remote policy or were working on site before the remote policy took place.
