HQ2 was never going to be a true second HQ but now it’s not even going to be close. Cities just fellated Amazon for a satellite office.
- linkerzx 8y agoSeems like quite a bit more than a satellite office, but not quite close to another HQ. Really curious to see what kind of jobs will end up in these HQ2A and HQ2B.
- pgwhalen 8y agoMy guess is that it’ll be like google in NYC. Quite substantial, but obviously no Mountain View.
- linkerzx 8y agoI think for New-York as an HQ there is quite some better chance for Amazon to build some serious operations. They already have Qusidi in New Jersey, which they might be looking to consolidate.
- Kephael 8y agoThe only HQ is where the CEO sits.
- TomMarius 8y agoWhat if the CEO has a standing desk? Just kidding. What about completely remote companies, or companies where the CEO is remote?
- why_only_15 8y agoHow many companies exist where the CEO is remote? If you're being hired for that important of a job, you're almost certainly willing to move.
- TomMarius 8y agoI know some, but the CEO is always also the founder.
- zjaffee 8y agoI can't be so sure of that, is the HQ of Berkshire Hathway really omaha, or is it the HQs of the various business subunits. If you have a conglomerate, the existence of an HQ is totally meaningless.
- slededit 8y agoAMZN is not a conglomerate. And even then BRK is extremely rare in its near total hands off policy.
