Indeed, the discussion is getting heated up. However I like your approach with practical and rational action points.

2025 will be the year to understand how we stand overall on RTO/hybrid/remote.

Hello Mirek!

Your perspective is very interesting. I have a scheduled post about this same topic scheduled for this Friday: https://open.substack.com/pub/arturhenriques/p/how-amazons-strategy-on-rto-is-wrong

My perspective is a bit different because my line of thought is RTO is used as a tool for a different goal.

I completely agree with you that is up to all leadership levels to make the company successful through teamwork and show the hybrid \ remote is an added value. Nowadays the model can be a competitive advantage in the job market for companies that are remote first. Is up to leadership today to reinvent the ways of working that are more collaborative than before.

However, I strongly believe that Amazon won't start a trend because their issues surpass RTO. To note Amazon has a skyrocketing turnover rate and its attrition on the job market will be visible soon.

However, I am very curious to watch the next chapters of this story. Expected Q1 2025.

Again, great article!

Artur

Hey Artur, thanks for comment. Looking forward to reading your post. Remote, RTO etc are very nuanced subjects and the debate seems to be heating up over time. :)
