I wonder if ex-Amazon employees will seed Seattle's startup scenes with "the Amazon way". Maybe they'll do the exact opposite, since they've seen how unhappy life can be when they're treated as grist for the mill.
I try to take my dollars elsewhere because I think Amazon is detrimental to local economies or their employees in warehouses and HQ. Kind of like how I feel about Wal*Mart.
