#3Blind isn't exactly a representative sample of the Amazon workforce...
These days Blind has become quite an ugly dumping ground for racist, misogynistic, and generally unpleasant ignorant discourse.

#4Short term it doesn’t matter for Amazon, they are printing money but more challenging times are ahead and wouldn’t mind to reduce their headcount. Being “unhappy” has been the staple of most Amazon employees since the beginning - see Yegge blog posts.
Tech jobs do not abound right now, so if they are going to do this, the moment is now.
The discussion if this is the right move or not ( for the future of the company) is one we could have, but in a way it’s like the peasants discussing the latest drama in the Royal family, at the of the day: who cares? They’ll be fine either way.

About 250 years ago, some of the peasants in the Americas had beef with the royal family, and it changed the world.

It's always had those elements, but over the last year or two it seems that's all they promote to their front page anymore.
Can't even log in anymore without the first page load being full of far right screeds.

It might be working as expected, even though the number is quite high, maybe higher than expected. The problem I see is when they do need to hire later down the line, it will be much harder to convince people to move when the change in work/life balance is that drastic.

It changed the USA, it didn't change "the world". Where I'm originally from, nothing changed after the US revolution. Why do Americans seem to think the world always revolved around their country?

If I remember correctly, there was a “Continental Army.” It wasn’t drawn from the whole continent, but it was enough to fight a whole war with the British army and win.
