You must come to the office, but we will not say why it is a good idea

Amazon’s cloud computing division, which you would think would have an idea that working from home is a good thing, is squaring off against its employees by using magical management words which are fooling no one.

Amazon held an all-hands meeting where head of Amazon's cloud computing business Adam Selipsky told workers that they had to come back but could not given them any hard reason why it would be a good idea.

According to the Seattle Times, he told staff stories about how returning to the office created something magical called “serendipity.”

Over the course of the year, “just think about … the serendipitous things that can happen,” Selipsky said.

Although serendipity appeared all he had to offer “Actual data … it’s very hard to come especially “any data that I think would stand scrutiny.”
