Aah, have you ever tried working on a project with a team from a different time zone. It can get slow when time zones don't sync. We travel to get face time and really prototype some difficult stuff. You're trying to defend Amazon's behavior by undermining face to face interaction.
I am trying to reinforce the parent point in this thread. That Amazon is cheap even more so when it comes to travel.
- otterley 7y agoFrugality is one of Amazon’s leadership principles. The flight class restriction is consistent with that. It helps them keep doing things like building new things and lowering prices for customers. There are other ways Amazonians get rest, like flying the day before a meeting and staying in a hotel the night before. And even with the added hotel and meals expenses, the total cost is often cheaper than flying business class. Again, just my opinion, not speaking for Amazon.
- mav3rick 7y agoAt G you still get to fly in before. Amazon has enough money. They just don't want to spend it on employees. There's a reason churn is so bad there.
- akhilcacharya 7y agoYes, I have. Face time is possible over video chat. Code collaboration is possible through pull requests / change lists / whatever. Again, not sure what you're saying here.
