I appreciate the candid statement he has made about one of the things that ails Amazon's leadership.
> Only that’s not just Amazon, it’s how 21st-century capitalism is done.
I wonder if there's any future opportunity for him in the existing set of well known names or large enough companies. I can't think of any widely known tech company that doesn't do "21st-century capitalism" (treating people as disposable cogs). Seems like getting into some non-profit that also has a decent track record may be the way to go for him.
- bantunes 6y agoI hear he's 64, so this might not be a big deal for him going forward.
- cowsandmilk 6y agoYeah, his blog has previously indicated he’s been considering retiring.
- acdha 6y agoI'm with OP on the non-profit route: if you're a relatively healthy retiree who's concerned about the future your children are going to live in (a recurring theme of his blog posts) there are a lot of activist organizations which can use serious talent which they can't pay market rates for and he'd have the luxury of picking the one whose views most closely align.
- chippy 6y agoI doubt it's an in depth criticism of capitalism, rather the specific sub-branch of worker-exploitative practices that the company does. He'd be quite happy (as are we all here, if we are truthful) making more millions in other more worker-friendlier ways.
