If you can do all your work from home you are easy to replace and aren’t worth much.
I needed a laboratory and had to do hands on work as an engineer.
I could at times work from home, but most of the time I had the be physically on site for example on top of a 14,000 volcano.
I have no pity for work at home people making $100,000 a year just typing

I’m very much in the libertarian camp on this — if someone has marketable skills and is able to negotiate a remote work situation, good for them.

In my experience it doesn’t work for most people, and personally, I hated it when my company tried it early on during the Chinese corona virus madness.

What I’ve seen is that the people most vocal in demanding it were by far the least valuable, and when we went back to 100% in-person work those that left in a huff were the folks with productivity issues in the first place.

I suspect that Amazon will find the same thing. There may be a handful of highly productive, and highly specialized people who can be accommodated with some sort of 1099 arrangement, but for the most part those who leave won’t be the top performers.
