I mean, Matt, that is great. I mean, that's terrible. I know this is what you're living, and I know that you're – this is not for our, your dress code is not our entertainment, but all of that said, and it's a bit shocking that they got a dress. I mean, it's like, you don't need to have a dress.

I mean, if you need to have a dress code, something is, because clearly like if you were with someone for which you need to dress professionally, you will need to dress professionally. And if you are going into the office to work on an ASIC, you can wear flip flops, but it just goes that same like undermining of, of trust.

And by the way, I mean, how many people that move away do so because, you know, my spouse has, you know, her residency is in a remote community or I need to be with my mother is ailing. I want to be close to her. I mean, it's like people move because of their own sense of duty to their broader families. I think so frequently.

Well, and you got some folks in the chat who, some folks who are either in cultures that have an RTO or at Amazon specifically that are asking like some pretty good questions. Like, Hey, we're like, we quantify things at this company. Can you, can you quantify some of this for me? Can you quantify this? Like, great. I'm all for making us more productive.

Like, Hey, we're like, we quantify things at this company. Can you, can you quantify some of this for me? Can you quantify this? Like, great. I'm all for making us more productive.

And then being told by management, like, no, no, this isn't about quantification. Like this isn't about, you know, Emily in the chat saying, Hey, stop asking for the numbers. This isn't about the numbers. And it's like, you know, it seems to like it's been about the numbers for lots of other things around here.

And it's like that really, again, undermines the faith that I have that this is a decision that's actually rational, let alone one that is in my best interest. It's like this is not this is not I don't understand why we're doing this.

Yeah, interesting. And then this is not a topic that's up for discussion, obviously. It's just like, take a hike if you don't like it, which I think is okay. And maybe there's some folks that really do. But it feels like you're going to get some regretted attrition this way. You're going to lose folks that you don't want to lose.

Right. So on the leadership principles, because one thing I, you know, Amazon had 14 leadership principles for a long time and then kind of had this like late tack on of two additional leadership principles. One of which is yet bonus leadership principles. So those post date my, my talk on the, on them actually.

And one, I mean, they're both kind of like nonsense, but one of them is to strive to be earth's best employer. Um, and I, which I think was honestly a consequence of some of these New York times pieces that were some of these, these pieces that were revealing some of the, the, the really tough working conditions that people had, not just on the, on kind of the AWS side, but, but Amazon writ large.
