I was actually almost better working at Amazon (2001-2006) where you got a door desk and they penny pinched everything and there was no enforced fun bullshit.

I was actually almost better working at Amazon (2001-2006) where you got a door desk and they penny pinched everything and there was no enforced fun bullshit. Amazon of course took it way too far and did things where they couldn't figure out how to find the money to get Apple laptops for devs (circa 2003) because they'd cost $100 more a seat and if 5,000 devs want them, that'd be half a million dollars! (to make $750M of dev salary at the time happy).
