Amazon and UK government at odds over working from home - who is right?
www.bbc.com
Amazon is ordering its staff back to the office five days a week, but the UK government is promoting flexible working.

They are two competing views on where desk-based employees work best.

Amazon is ordering its staff back to the office five days a week, just as the government is pushing for rights to flexible working - including working from home - to be strengthened.

The tech giant says employees will be able to better “invent, collaborate, and be connected”.

But just as the firm’s announcement became news, the UK government was linking flexibility to better performance and a more productive, loyal workforce.

    The U.K. government.

      But if the media didn’t ask who was right, people might not consider that Amazon might be right for fucking over its workers!

        I just learned that Rockefeller significantly improved his image by giving away the money he stole from his workers.

        Maybe Amazon can just to donate half of the money they don’t pay in taxes to win back most people’s support - hell, maybe even less than that!
