At this point long commutes just seem a waste of time (and I know a number of people in the Seattle area who are forced into long commutes by Amazon only to do most remote meetings once they arrive).
Sometimes I do think the ideal job would be a medium-sized company with an office within walking distance of everyone's home. When everyone in the office is aligned on the same thing it's really great to be in-person. I don't think this holds for a giant organization like Amazon.
- jauntywundrkind 1y agoThe demands to relocate to the same office as your team should eliminate the "only to do most remote meetings" problem, but woof. I can't imagine demanding either jerking around your talent like this (forcing a big move) nor commuting 5 days a week. Just feels like a billionaire commitment to insuring a better world isn't possible.
