Because WFH has shown that large parts of middle management are useless, and those MM people are pushing upper management for RTO before it becomes evident. It’s what MM has always done, suck up to UM and kick down on the workers, without real benefit to the company.
Amazon is extremely data-centric at that management level. If he’s not showing hard data, then the data he has go against the narrative he’s pushing.
Which is confusing to me, obviously working from home tends to be more productive, and I’m sure they’ve seen that, so why RTO?

Not only MM, I think a lot of these execs would be shown as useless as well
