With all the employees back in the office, they'll have plenty of time to hang around the water cooler and discuss all the ways to unionize. Leaving the company is great as an individual, it sends a message. Unionizing helps to restore the balance of power vs rights and is exactly what Amazon doesn't want. This (IMHO) is how you "F them hard". Additionally, it'd send a message to the other companies who want to flex on the people who make the company work.

What makes you think they aren't ~~listening to~~ gathering training data from their employees? Next Amazon initiative: an Alexa at every water cooler and break area.

I wouldn't doubt that. I just wanted to pretend for a moment that the thing they're taking from us would result in the one thing that they seem to fear the most.

I didnt think about that. Thank you for telling me that.
