That’s all great to hear, but I think what most of us are frustrated about is the mandate aspect. You are welcome to go to the office every day if you want, and if you want to see coworkers in the office who are friends then go plan that with them.

For the rest of us its been a roller coaster of wfh being forbidden pre-covid, to wfh being what “saved the companies”, to now it being a problem all while we’ve delivered for the company (Ive been with AWS for 7 years). All the while, folks like myself have had to make decisions like where to buy a home given messages of “amazon has fully embraced wfh/remote work, we won’t be forcing a return to office” [1] to now this… its out of touch from reality.
