That's assuming rational leadership. That's pretty rare.

I'm not expecting rationality, but I'm expecting a somewhat consistent strategy. If a company makes decisions the same way five times, I expect them to make decisions the same way the sixth.

But you're not pointing out anything about consistency? You just implied Amazon and Zoom making the same decision means they had some level of knowledge about undefined "issues."

[-] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 2 points 1 year ago

I've said Amazon and Zoom likely have internal data driving this decision.

Also, per a lot of documentation, Amazon focuses a lot on efficiency with metrics and will do whatever to make those metrics go up. So, in Amazon's case, I can't imagine the company making a decision to push efficiently metrics down just to fill an office.

So yeah, you're making a lot of assumptions that they're making rational decisions based on data. That's what I said to begin with.
