Am Amazon employee (programmer) and can confirm. The shenanigans being pulled right now are absolutely bullshit and as somebody who's been at the company for a long time and has generally enjoyed the fast paced, high pressure atmosphere I'm real close to saying "fuck you" to some of my favorite people.

Note, my experience is probably far from the norm, but my org has nothing but wonderful individuals and they've fought really hard to keep the flexibility we've had since long before covid.

Fuck you Andy Jassy. We all despise you.

Jassy is Amazon's Ballmer.

None yet. Haven't really been active though. Maybe one day. In the meantime I'll have a hilarious username shamelessly stolen from Reddit.

As an Ex Amazonian, (did 5 years time in the Bezos era), you all are forgetting that Amazon’s entire culture is built to be predatory towards type A people. Jassy didn’t start that, Bezos did. Jassy is just relentless because of AWS operations. He’s not better or worse than Besos.

Ballmer nearly destroyed Microsoft and Satya had to save it.
