A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

I currently work at AWS and this is true one of my coworkers got his promotion blocked because he hadn't been in 3 days a week (he had been going in 2 days a week). It was 100% an automatic process of denying his promotion.
That is fucked up. If the work is getting done, it shouldn't matter whether worker is doing it from home or office.
Clearly, subservience matters to them. If you don't lick the boot, you don't get promoted.
Yeah, it's really messed up. The work has been getting done and our team had done great with wfh, my manager and his manager don't want us to go into office but leadership higher up is forcing it.
But do you really want to work in Amazon for long enough to get promotion? Assuming that even happens?
I don't remember a time my employer promoted me. I always changed my job to promote myself. It's only worse at Amazon, you'd imagine.
