Corporate mythmaking extols the cheap desks Bezos et al would construct out of sawhorses and reclaimed doors. IIRC -- or at least, as I was told -- they actually tried to mass-produce "door desks" when they first moved into their new offices, but the price was, somewhat ironically, exorbitantly more than buying something from Hermann Miller. (See also the windows that opened to reduce A/C costs, which also increased facilities costs.)

> Corporate mythmaking extols the cheap desks Bezos et al would construct out of sawhorses and reclaimed doors I did a 'virtual internship' at Amazon during COVID, and the mythmaking is just as strong of a koolaid at any Muskcorp... these billionaires are the height of hypocrisy (Elon Jet, and Bezo's Yacht contradict thier talking points) but make it a priority that thier underlings must accept as gospel and makie it a talking point in the ethos of what makes these companies what they are.
