"We believe that employees are much more likely to understand our unique culture and become part of it if they are surrounded by other Amazonians in person"

This statement strikes me as dishonest. 'Culture', a nebulous and immeasurable term, is clearly being used to lasso people back to the office for an ulterior motive. Are there truly no reasons for RTO more firm and factual than absorbing culture, whatever that may be?

The author asserts that Amazon could be trying to increase attrition, but is this really the reason? Maintaining office buildings and bringing people into them just so that some of them might quit?

Sounds like a cult.

If the culture is so special then why do people not want to go back?
