Some take a data-driven approach to organizational leadership; others lead by vibes. 🎁 link: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

But as Amazon’s announcement shows, the decisions around work arrangements were never going to be just about the data. When Jassy spoke last year about the company’s decision to move from a remote policy to a hybrid one, he said that it was based on a “judgment” by the leadership team but wasn’t informed by specific findings. Executives might just have an intuition that in-office work is better for the companies they helped build. It may make their jobs easier to have everyone close by. They also seem to find it hard to believe that their employees are doing as much work when they’re at home as when they’re in the office, where everyone can see them.

It is wild that a data-by-the-second company like Amazon would do anything in vibes.
