What Cory said does not bother me. But that
does.
Maybe other times it wouldn't bother me. Right now? Yes. It does. My patience wears thin.

Replying to @_msw_ @itunpredictable and
Why? AWS recently lost a DE because he wouldn't be a part of their anti labor activities. You can think AWS is different because it serves Jeff's interests for you to think it's different. It doesn't matter how good your boss is. Once you are expendable so it's all the management

I am sorry if this makes you feel crunchy. I am sure your org up to, say, the SVP level is awesome. I am sure above the SVP level they are really good at looking like awesome people.

Is the initial vesting cliff still 24 months? Is the average tenure still about 18 months? That isn't a healthy organization.

Getting nearly two years of labor out of people and then sending them on their way with minimal share dilution is a feature not a bug. It’s a very healthy system by Amazon standards.

Having AMZN on your resume is a benefit for sure, but AMZN recruiters aren't selling candidates on the job opportunities they are going to have in 2 years. They are selling them on a package of RSUs that many people who accept the position will never see.

Guys. You have to really really really ... really, and I mean *really* ... struggle to find a case that tech-workers of any category, anywhere, including Amazon are immorally under-compensated. We are all paid obscene amounts. College Hires. DEs. All of us.

That is a very AWS centric view of Amazon as a whole. Tech still has scut work. Is the tech worker that is maintaining the data lake ETL jobs for kindle sales (just to pull something out of my ass) one on the smartest ETL folk in the world?
