At a time when most of the Silicon Valley giants are planning for a remote workforce, Amazon is buying real estate in 6 cities for a 3500 in office staff when the world reopens. What is everyone’s thought on this? Will this force other major employers like fb, google etc to rethink their remote work approach? How will consulting get impacted in terms of weekly travel? Is amazon doing the right thing planning for in person work life to resume as normal?

Sounds like Amazon understands that vast majority of workforce is not in love with the idea of permanently living at work (often mistakenly referred to as WFH), so they are planning accordingly. If they also start opening up in-person schools for kids to attend while parents are working, I'd say they'll rule the world!
