Amazon is perhaps the most documented example of how ugly the RTO battle can get: Around 30,000 employees signed a petition protesting the company’s in-office mandate, and more than 1,800 pledged to walk out from their jobs to take a stand.

Why would they make employees quit when they are just going to hire again? Weeding out the job hoppers?

We are just labor subscriptions for corporations.
