Why the New York Times’s Amazon story is so controversial
- greenyoda 11y agoAmazon guy says: "The hardest problems in technology, bar none, are solved at Amazon." That's a pretty arrogant statement. I think just about any technological problem that Amazon solves is pretty simple when compared to building a rover and sending it to Mars.
- angdis 11y agoYeah, but they do solve hard problems, very hard. I'll give him a pass for saying that. A bit of hyperbole doesn't discredit his claim. I have a hard time feeling sorry for the white-collar workforce at Amazon. They have choices, are well-paid, do interesting stuff and can leave if and when they want. The story is very different for the warehouse workers.
- VOYD 11y agoBecause its true in so many of the larger Tech companies. Corporate nepotism, intense co-worker competitiveness, and inept middle management. I'm surprised everyone is so surprised.
