    Good grief.

    I've enjoyed using their services for years., but this article in the NYTimes today makes me seriously question doing business with them in the future.

    I wouldn't work for a company like this unless there was no other choice.

    Disturbing article. The ambulances stationed at their factories to deal with heat stroke because of their refusal to install air conditioning is fucked up.

      ... her last name was Rommel. You can't make that shit up.

      Did you read the comments section? Apparently, Bezos wife is a leader of some anti-bullying campaign. Really. You can't make that shit up.

      Getting hired by Amazon is like hitting the lottery for "The Hunger Games."

            This article is more than just disturbing

            It's a pure vision of hell on earth.


            The one very good aspect of Amazon seems to be that it's manages to take 1000's of stone assholes out of the "regular" workforce so normal employees would not have to deal with them.


            I cannot imagine going to work each day and be surrounded by your fellow back stabbing assholes.

              ...many of my later years in the software industry were a lot like the article described.

              The whole thing brought back bad memories and reminded me why I got out and have never looked back.

              Brutal on so many levels.

                        Where he mentions "you can work anywhere you want".

                        ..my experiences in the corporate world is that is a polite threat and invitation to leave.


                        Riccardo I don't know about Yul Bryner but Dr Evil is somewhere in the family tree.
