People need to stand firm against the needless RTOs and demands to be present in a workplace where your work consists largely of things you can do safely from the privacy of your own home.
Without more mass resignations when companies start to roll out RTOs like this; they will never learn. If you work at such a company; start looking for another job, even if you are willing to work in the office a few days a week. Punish them harshly for enforcing RTOs.
There’s one important difference: with layoffs, Amazon gets to selectively lay off their worse performers. With mass-quitting, the quitters will be the people who will have the easiest time finding a new job, which I bet is mostly the high-performers, not the low ones

Those resignations are layoffs without having to call them that, there’s no downside for the company

The higher paid high performers… They’re not interested in reducing head count as far as reducing staff costs.
So they can boost “value” of office space.
Mass resignations are worthless. Announce a strike. Make them fire you.
