:::: How does their "hub" thing work? Is your whole team in one place, or do you just report to some random cubicle farm?

Basically, you show up to random cubicle or sound-proof photo booth and "collaborate" via Chime (now Teams) with other workers around the world also sitting in random booths/cubicles.

Unlike Google/Facebook you do not even get free lunch.

Could it be a semi-deliberate way to discourage people who have a life and retain only "worker bees", including the visa-dependent immigrants that other comments mention?

Wow, that sounds like something straight out of Kafka.

That's just straight up dystopian :D

The whole point of being at the office is the snacks, drinks and amenities you can use while doing the "in person collaboration" -stuff.

Oh.

No wonder people are leaving.

Amazon is off slack?

currently on Slack and Zoom, moving away from Chime, and with some people using Teams.
