Amazon Makes It Harder for Disabled Employees to Work from Home

RTO is nothing to do with efficiency. It's about suppressing wages.

People who quit over RTO are cheaper than severance. You then distribute their work to the remaining employees who work harder for the same money. Layoffs and departures help keep wages down because the employees there are in fear of losing their job.

If disabled employees are more likely to quit because of RTO, that's a win for Amazon because those people are harder to fire or layoff, being a protected class.

The tides have shifted in tech. It's no longer a seller's market. Now that it's a buyer's (employer's) market, you're seeing the true colors of these companies. You are a cost. They will do everything to pay you less and/or get you to work more. To extract more profits.

Nobody should be surprised by this.

Ohh the dastardliness of a mutually agreed upon contract!

This makes sense and is also highlighted by the fact that promotions at Amazon have been becoming harder and harder, and new arbitrary requirements are added literally every quarter by every org leader.

I think you overestimate the amount of people who even have severance clauses. That's pretty much silicon valley and C level stuff. The vast majority of office workers get fuck all if they are laid off or fired.
