2024 Work Trends: Return to Office, Sneaky Layoffs and are MBAs Worth it?

If I'm an employee, I'd rather them just be honest. I think from Amazon's perspective, they have so many employees that it's probably hard to go and assess each individual's talent and like make layoffs that way. So this is like just a more effective way for them to do that. But I'd rather them just be honest.

Yeah, ultimately, it is a war for talent. I think the genie is out of the bottle on hybrid work. And so if you're a very talented employee and you want to work in a hybrid setup, I think there is going to be a company that will pay you the same to do that. And you're ultimately going to end up there.

And so I think Amazon is going to be stuck in this messy middle where if you want to work for a large company, you probably also want to work hybrid. If you want to work in person and tackle really, really thorny challenges, you might want to go for a startup. And that's not what Amazon is.

2024 Work Trends: Return to Office, Sneaky Layoffs and are MBAs Worth it?

Yeah, I mean, I think we already talked about voluntary layoffs. Now we're talking about sneaky layoffs. We're going to talk about AI. The word that's pinning all these together is efficiency. And even Zuck said, like, this is the year of efficiency. I think we're seeing companies with new tools. And with hiring too much during COVID, wanting to right size and finding any way to do that.

And so if they can find someone that's like broken a company policy, they can fire them. It looks better from a PR perspective. You're not having to do mass layoffs. And I think that's what this is all about. I think what gets tricky is if the person running the fantasy football league was like the top performer at that company, they wouldn't have fired them.
