Amazon (NYC) - what is a “day in office” ? Does company policy allow work time logged on during long train commute? For example, 2 hours on train, badge in by 10, in office til 3, another 2 hours working on train ride home. 3 days total in office, 15 total hours per week. Manager/team flexibility here or hard no?

In what world can you roll into the office at 10?

At least with today’s technology you can actually be productive on the commute. When I was commuting to NYC back in the late 90s all of that train time was an extension onto an already long day. 8-9 hours in the office was usually a minimum of 11-12 hours door to door. Sometimes longer if the transit system had problems. I see nothing wrong with that approach. Wish I had that available back in the day 😃

How do you all deal with the guilt of leaving a comany/ team? I have been working at Microsoft for 1 year now, and seriously considering moving. I find the code base to be very legacy and I mostly work on obscure bugs that I spend so much time on, mostly due to navigating this large code base and not having much docs to refer to. Hence I find the job slightly unsatisfying, and that I could learn more elsewhere. However, I love the wlb, the team and company culture. The guilt stops my applying.
