Seems like every company in tech is losing engineers left and right at this point
- nefitty 5y agoI keep getting AWS recruiters contacting me and I'm pretty sure I am nowhere near qualified
- micromacrofoot 5y agoI know a few companies that treat their engineers very well (remote, good pay, equity, no overtime, ~6 weeks vacation) and they’ve barely lost anyone. Companies like Amazon should learn from this, but they likely won’t unless their employees unionize.
- ridaj 5y agoCan you share names? Asking for a friend ... Although if they are small companies, I would be wary of anecdata... The narrative sounds good but small companies are more likely than large companies to exhibit extreme behavior in any metric, and it's likely that there's some confirmation bias in reporting what works / doesn't work
- micromacrofoot 5y agothat’s true, and unless you trust someone in the inside you can’t rely on a company reporting accurately about themselves… plus the tide at a small company can turn in an instant, just look at basecamp
- loeg 5y agoI think it’s worse at Amazon, but I don’t have any hard data to support that belief.
