He's just somebody with FY money in the bank so he can do whatever he wants in a larger scope than others. I'll keep my hat on; this is nothing special in his position.
- kharak 6y agoExcuse me? How many people with FY money do what he did? What he did IS the exception and henceforth noteworthy.
- scollet 6y agoI think it's worth mentioning that this blog was shared and lauded on HN instead of a ground floor worker's narrative. So yes, it's not really attempting an impact on this audience.
- red_admiral 6y ago@scollet [below]: he does a prety good job of linking to ground floor worker's narratives in his post - using his increased exposure and prestige to "signal boost" them, as a millenial would say. Or am I reading that wrong?
- Lammy 6y agoDo you think he would feel safe speaking up about this (or any) injustice if he weren't financially secure? That's sort of his entire point, imo, since the people Amazon fired certainly don't have that luxury.
- supergeek133 6y agoNo, I don't think so. This is why you don't see others doing what he did. He said it will cost him "a million pre tax dollars". He worked there 5 years, I'd imagine he already made one or more millions.
