There are so many valid criticisms of Bezos, the companies he owns, etc. This is so unnecessary. The quoted line says nothing about Bezos.

- socceroos 7y agoI think they're trying to loosely relate the implied socially unacceptable ways of relieving stress with this persons employment at a Bezos company, companies which have been in the news because of bad working conditions for employees. Just one example: https://www.theblaze.com/news/2017/11/27/undercover-reporter-reveals-brutal-working-conditions-at-amazon https://www.theblaze.com/news/2017/11/27/undercover-reporter... Given that, it is not too much of a stretch to associate Jeff's example and style of leadership with this person's statement - in a mostly tongue-in-cheek manner, mind you.
- dmix 7y agoThis is shoehorning of politics where it doesn't fit. I know that's popular on Reddit but it rarely leads to interesting conversations, just low quality generalizations/flamewars all based on a weak analogy. This article is about a video games, the story doesn't mention Amazon or even her workplace specifically, the quote was a lighthearted joke (jokes use exaggeration to be funny, ie. "punching a wall" at an office), etc.
- socceroos 7y agoI agree in the sense that I wouldn't have made the association myself either - I also think that the quote was almost definitely just humour. I'm just explaining what I thought the connection they'd made was.
