- hinkley 8y agoSee also Amazon. I’ve heard too many stories and seen it first hand (it didn’t work on me, but they sure tried). I’m pretty worried about the future of software in Seattle. So many new grads learning bad habits and then moving on to other companies. It’s a lot to unlearn.
- pkaye 8y agoMy college friend told me about his terrible experience working in Amazon AWS. This was not a developer position and he has degrees from major universities and solid prior experiences. The experience was so degrading he quit after a few months and took some time off to recoup. He is now much happier working somewhere out of tech industry.
- hinkley 8y agoYeah I meant to point out that the form of bullying seems to be shame based rather than intimidation. But I count them both as bullying. Sticks and stones may break my bones but words hurt the worst.
- natalyarostova 8y agoI wish Amazon had a better way for teams or projects to fail gracefully. Part of the companies strategy/competitive advantage is the ability to quickly spin up new projects/teams in a decentralized way. However, that also means lots will fail -- which is fine. But then for the individual managers on those teams, they often become stressed, toxic, and bully their subordinates.
