rtomaven··on Amazon RTO policy is costing it top tech talent, according to internal document
So true. Jamie Dimon can bear being in the office 5 days a week because he has private limos and helicopters ferrying him around.

:::: 5 days a work is diabolical.

5 days is fine if you actually get paid to live near the office. Except you dont. You get paid enough to live 90min away, which makes 5 days in office diabolical. Further, pay for senior is not commensurate to costs for senior (e.g., enough to pay for private school or for the SF public schools' "donations")

:::: How does their "hub" thing work? Is your whole team in one place, or do you just report to some random cubicle farm?

Basically, you show up to random cubicle or sound-proof photo booth and "collaborate" via Chime (now Teams) with other workers around the world also sitting in random booths/cubicles.

Unlike Google/Facebook you do not even get free lunch.
