Lol doing the old Tucker Carlson "I'm just asking questions here" I see.
Absolutely all just theories, but my point in my reply wasn't solely about Amazon.
So about Amazon, as you said, a company obsessed with driving down costs and metrics, so why would they force people who are more productive at home, back into the office? It's simple, people are making those decisions, and they're not making good sound decisions based on metrics, they're making decisions based on control, they're making decisions based on the current trend within the executive class, and they're making decisions based on politics. No doubt there's a shitload of empty suit kiss asses saying "look boss we got the people back into the office!" while looking for headpats.
Overall the return to work trend has been in the works for a while, the Wall Street Journal (now Newscorp owned) and other business based media outlets have been putting out negative articles about WFH since the trend began, and the dumb business people who wind as middle and upper management yes men take these media outlets as gospel, and those kiss asses are the foot soldiers in the class war being waged, so you know they were pushing for return to work every chance they had to voice their opinions on the WFH topic. These capitalist pawns basically just see WFH as them losing power over those WFH folks, it all boils down to narcissistic and entitled people wanting more control over us.
