Imagine being a billionaire CEO and still having to bend over backwards to give “perks” to entitled engineers!

Think of those years and years of suffering that must put a CEO through! To be at the top of the mountain - and still beholden to little people! That is the worst kind of injustice.

And the joy - the relief! - of finally being able to treat the engineers with the same contempt you feel for your customers. It must feel GLORIOUS.

Sadly, other CEOs will be quick to follow for more days in the office or full time in office.

Much quickier than they followed for salary raises, obviously.

Yes, and then the market has an inevitable upswing and they’ve tarnished their reputations as highly desirable employers.

Coming out of this layoff wave my impression is Microsoft and Meta are static on employer desirability, Amazon slightly less desirable, and Google is now IBM 2.0.

Do you think that Amazon treats its customers with contempt?

Using legal loopholes to avoid accountability for selling people unsafe products from Chinese drop shippers is the height of contempt.

Absolutely! There are many stories of them shutting off services for and then directly competing with their customers in both the software and the retail space.

I mean, how else would you explain the product search UX on amazon.com?
