We continue to believe that teams produce the best results when they're collaborating and inventing in person,

First of all, that's 100% bullshit.

Secondly, what about individuals‽ Ya know, the people that make up "the team."

Studies have shown that individuals produce the best results when they're working alone and not bothered regularly by office bullshit.

...but let's get more specific, because Amazon is talking about innovation and "inventing": Study after study has shown that the kind of "group brainstorming" that Amazon is referring to here produces worse results that having individuals work on ideas alone then pooling them together afterwards.

Literally the opposite of what they're claiming.

Amazon: Believe your own bullshit at your peril. Well, at the loss of tech talent I guess 🤷

Thats the goal. Top talent costs money and they want them to leave while the market is in the employers hands so they can hire people cheaper ;(. Ghouls

How am i supposed to trust amazon with global shipping and running datacenters all over the world, when they can't handle Jeff from accounting working from home and being available for a video call any time?
