34% of WFH (work from home) workers say they'd rather quit than return to full-time office work:

A new survey of WFH (work-from-home) employees suggests that many are not yet ready to return to the office. In fact, they may never be ready.

The survey found that 34% of WFH respondents say they would rather quit than return to a full-time office job.

The survey was published by staffing firm Robert Half. It involved more than 1,000 adult employees of US companies, all of whom are currently working from home due to the pandemic.

As mentioned above, more than 1 in 3 said they would look for a new job if they had to again work in the office full time.

    Watch out at Amazon. They have a history of stack ranking. I don't know if they still do, but reviews say that you will still have to out-perform your previous self every quarter if you want a raise each year.

    Amazon's interview process is 90% core leadership principle questions, and 10% coding.

    The interesting thing is that people who leave Amazon IT jobs generally get snapped up with better pay and better working conditions. “Falling up.”

    I've never worked at Amazon, but from friends who have tried it was quite telling that their signing stock only vested 5% after one year. Most big companies expect that the first year is for you to find out if you're happy there and if you stay for a year you'll probably stay for a long time, so a big chunk of the stock vests at the end of the first year. Amazon expects a lot of people to leave so skews the incentives really far to the future to try to discourage this. In spite of that, they still have a lot of people leaving before the majority of their signing stock vests.

    TL;DR: When your incentive structure assumes high turnover, it's probably a sign of a toxic working environment.
