I Had a Baby and Cancer When I Worked at Amazon (2015)

  It appears that if you aren’t a software developer at Amazon, its a bad place to work with a toxic environment. So long as Amazon continues to dominate online shopping, they Bezos won’t change anything.

    The environment is very bad and toxic for software developers too.

    I hope she's well too, and for whatever it's worth as evidence of wellness, she's actively tweeting these days: https://twitter.com/jcheiffetz https://twitter.com/jcheiffetz

  Genuine question: are public companies required by law to publish those figures in question?

  That was a refreshing read. She concluded by pointing the reader to statistics (or lack thereof) instead of appealing to emotions or socio-political views. I don't know how things are for women or any group of people at amazon but I am glad to hear women that worked there didn't have too much trouble finding a job elsewhere. Being stuck at a company that rejects you is worse than merely running into one. I like to think that to some degree competition can mitigate bad companies.The best and worst companies I worked at have both been fortune100's with the best one gaining a competitive advantage if they kept a good employee retention rate. Amazon lacks a healthy dose of business competition, the only area where it faces sound competition is cloud services (and people I knew that work on that side of the business seem to like it)
