I think the objection comes from perspective, more than anything:
What sounds like a Day 1 company?
- Build a second HQ where there can actually be meaningful development, like Raleigh.
- Build two satellite offices in the most cozy-up-to-establishment choices possible, NYC and DC.
Couple in the questionable deal making around choosing NYC, and it’s clear where the frustration comes from: we want to see the same strength of character leading Amazon as standing up to AMI.
The Day 2 satellites aren’t that, for a number of reasons.
- murph-almighty 8y agoThis is a pretty solid capture of my feelings about this. It is downright weird to swing from "Amazon chose this place for money" to "Amazon's CEO is standing up to (possibly) international cyberbullies" in the space of spending like 20 minutes on HN. It's the disparate decision making processes that are throwing me for a whirl more than anything.
