I'll save you the click to know the details:

On Wednesday, some Amazon employees received an email accusing them of not adhering to the company's RTO policy, which requires coming into the office at least 3 times a week, according to a copy of the email obtained by Insider.

"We are reaching out as you are not currently meeting our expectation of joining your colleagues in the office at least three days a week, even though your assigned building is ready," the email stated.

Some of the email recipients have said the warning was sent to them by mistake because they've been coming into the office as required. According to an internal ticket, seen by Insider, at least one employee raised the possibility of a technical bug in data generation and processing, saying it's "not clear" why they received this email.

Keeps McDonald's and corporate landlords afloat. That's the reason.

I have taken to calling all of them "landleeches". It feels more fitting.

I am haha but I work in manufacturing so I can't work from home, but now everyone that could is being forced back which just makes it bad for everyone for no benefit. The break room snacks are all gone, the toilets are all pooped and all of our meetings are still on zoom anyway so what's the point
