For a company that is supposedly data driven like Amazon likes to tout, they have zero data that RTO would provide the benefits they claim[0]. They even admitted as much[1].

I wouldn't be shocked if one day some leaked memos or emails come to light that prove it was all about control and/or backdoor layoffs, despite their PR spin that it isn't (what competent company leader would openly admit this?)

This is simply layoffs without having to do layoffs. Much cleaner. I work for a state institution, due to budget cuts, layoffs are Coming. However, almost everyone hired the last few years are temporary employees. So we aren’t laying people off, we are simply not renewing positions. No messy uniom notifications needed.
