It's remarkable how unhappy the people at Amazon on Blind are.
Literally everyone is just leetcoding to get out or bragging about getting in early enough to make a killing on the stock surge.
- prolikewh0a 8y agoI just browsed through it and there's a ton of Amazon workers bragging about how hot they are and how much money they make, how girls in Seattle won't suffice because the "attractive ones aren't well educated", masturbation, "dealing with dumb people". Seems like a tech bro nightmare.
- Sonnol53 8y agoLots of 'Crying at my desk' posts by Amazonians
- atomical 8y agoWhy are they crying? Could you link to a post? They still publish threads on their webpage, right?

- macNchz 8y ago>Seems like a tech bro nightmare. This precisely summarizes my reaction to Blind each time I’ve decided to log in over the year or so I’ve had an account.
- sadamznintern 8y agoAre we reading the same Blind Most of them are Indians mad that they can’t get laid (typical for Seattle and Amazon-tier Indians). I wonder if the Indians at Google Fremont have that problem..
- prolikewh0a 8y agoQuoted from Blind: >As a male engineer I look down on you f%%ks that wear the same s%%t everyday, you are the s%%theads that premature optimize a code and add tons of complexity to save unneeded CPU cycles. Bet you wear the same boxers for days without washing in the name of efficiency. It's pretty much 4chan for tech bros, but it does seem to be quite diverse tech bros, yes.
- atomical 8y agoAre you suggesting it's status? Google engineers do better in the dating market?
- sadamznintern 8y agoThey also seem more attractive and less self loathing. I’d wager they do.
- atomical 8y agoWhy the obsession with the big tech companies?
- sadamznintern 8y agoBecause they are clearly superior humans than me.
- atomical 8y agoWhy do you need to be the best?
- mesozoic 8y agoThe key is to just laugh it off and consider it trolling, jokes, whatever. Most of it is but there's useful info there also and people who feel oppressed by the SJW movement at work let off the steam in a safe space (how ironic).
- Ar-Curunir 8y agoLol opinions like those deserve to be oppressed. What a cesspool.
- paulie_a 8y agoGod forbid people address an issue directly. I accidentally upset a coworker by a comment I made, we had lunch and it was addressed. I realized why it bothered the person, we hugged and moved on and have a good working relationship. Blind just sounds plain stupid and a terrible idea for work place culture.
- sadamznintern 8y ago>hugged Oh jeez I hope you didn’t create a new issue
- paulie_a 8y agoIt's hard to describe the context of the situation but it was more of a funny moment. We hashed something out as adults.
