An Amazon manager, full of shit, once tried to tell a joke at a social gathering. He claimed that he and friends removed the engine from someone's car over lunch as a prank. This is the education level that some of them have. He literally didn't think people would know he was full of shit.
- hueving 8y agoGullibility has little to do with 'education level'.
- phendrenad2 8y agoYou misread it - the manager wasn’t gullible, he was the one telling the fib.
- toomanybeersies 8y agoIt would be technically possible to remove a car engine during lunch. However, that's not so much a prank as malicious damage. You'd also have to be a very skilled mechanic, familiar with that specific car, to do it that fast.

- exikyut 8y agoHonest question: education level or mental developmental level? Mental health is enough of an epidemic that $company_with_exponential_scale is most definitely going to pick up a fair chunk of people with various issues, cognitive included. Chances are this is even part of why the bar is a bit lower. (Said as someone with mild high-functioning autism)
- codeonfire 8y agoMy point is Amazon has hired some managers that have really lowered the bar due to the environment they are from and people they are used to dealing with. Imagine someone from a place where you could tell a preposterous lie and 50% of people would believe you.
