Amazon exec says it’s time for RTO: ‘I don’t have data to back it up, but I know it’s better’

It's "better" because it keeps the yoke of oppression on the staff, and pathological managers absolutely love that kind of control. Ditto the ability to supervise / micromanage / breathe down people's necks.

This manager may not yet have had as direct a revelation as to be able to put the above into words, but they know what they like.

RTO = return to office apparently

"I don't have any proof, but I want it real bad, so I've got to be right."
