Remote work from pandemic period is a totally different story. The companies are forced to let people to work remotely because of the covid, not they really want to go fully remote.
My original post was about typical 3 days(hybrid) vs Amazon's 5 days(fully onsite). My stand is that hybrid is fine for certain people and positions if the people think that it's worth it. If you don't like it, that's fine. I never said you have to take non remote positions. I was only commenting on the Amazon's fully onsite issue anyway

Amazon's stock hit an all time high during this period. They chose to take that arrangement and modify it, now they have worker discontent (and a lower valuation).
Citation needed on Amazon's stock price and WFH setup. I'd argue it was more because of crazy levels of money printing. As soon as stimmies dried up and the Fed started hiking interest rates, stocks dropped while we were still WFH.
This was the state of things before the RTO mandates. The whole company was remote until they started demanding people come in 3 days a week.
