The episode critiques Amazon's decision to require more in-office work, arguing that it lacks evidence and may harm employee satisfaction, especially among high performers, women, and millennials who value flexibility. The hosts, Anne Morris and Frances Frey, emphasize that research shows remote work can be as effective as in-person work for learning and collaboration. They suggest that Amazon should experiment with solutions that enhance learning, mentoring, and engagement without mandating office presence. The episode highlights the importance of flexibility and local decision-making in modern workplaces, contrasting Amazon's approach with Microsoft's more flexible policies. The hosts advise Amazon to slow down the implementation of its policy and engage in a listening tour with employees to find better solutions.
