Antiwork

Isn't that retaliation?

Just another reason to add to the long list of reasons not to work for Amazon.

The best way to get promoted is to change jobs every 3-6 years.

I don't have any interest in getting promoted again. I was at my current job for 6 months when they promoted me to the last real IC level. The only thing i gain from here is more responsibility. All this is going to do is rot Amazon's culture as underperformers get promoted and excellent engineers become content to coast in the background.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Employees who don’t regularly work in an office at least three days a week will find that any potential promotion will be subject to an additional layer of leadership approval, the e-commerce giant confirmed to CNN on Friday.

There are a “variety of factors we consider when determining an employee’s readiness for the next level,” Brad Glasser, an Amazon spokesperson, told CNN in a statement.

In February, some three years into the dawn of the work-from-home era initially brought on by the pandemic, CEO Andy Jassy said that staffers would be required to return to office at least three days per week starting in May.

“Collaborating and inventing is easier and more effective when we’re in person,” Jassy told workers at the time in a company memo.

In August, meanwhile, Amazon sent a warning email to some of its office workers that said it believed they were not complying with its return-to-office policies.

The company said it has a remote work exception request policy in place, which is considered on a case-by-case basis.
