I know of multiple teams where 50% of the team were nominally HQ2/Virginia employees and 50% were distributed around the country last spring.

Folks on these teams speculated that the Return To Hub push was specifically thought of to meet HQ2 incentives.

None of the distributed employees ended up in Virginia. They all found local teams internally or left Amazon. When high performer leaves a team it’s common for others to leave since it breaks the ice. Lots of these teams then lost local talent to companies with less strict in-office requirements.

Markets are gonna communicate information whether you like it or not.
