I legitimately, from the bottom of my heart, don’t care.
Readit NewsAt least G's office perks are way better lol
The ones you haven’t gotten for a year? Doubt the perks at Intel were much more impressive.
Another reason not to work at Amazon.
Don’t get it, why is this the response when Google did the same thing and the comments there defended it?
Another article about Amazon doing the same https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26650430
Maybe you were supposed to reforward it to the other person.
Oops, my bad y'all!
Lol when you're an amazon employee and find out on hacker news. I must say, the communication during covid hasn't been great internally
I got an email yesterday and it was reforwarded by my skip level manager. I’m surprised you wouldn’t get it.
If companies had to pay even part of the externalities of commuting they'd have stopped this antiquated modus operandi long ago.
As it stands I feel like we're going to have to wait until all Silent Generation/Boomers retire before we can see real progressive change in this area.
Honestly it really speaks to poor management in general. If your only measure for project progress is "butts in seats," then you have no idea what is going on below you. It isn't like slacking off while physically at work isn't basically a meme already.
Companies would actually be more efficient if they communicated progress/expectations in a trackable way, telecommuting just forces that issue, but it is an issue regardless of where people are.
They do though, they pay me around $180 a month for an unlimited transit card (that I can’t use) and a transit debit card for Uber (that is currently capped because I also cannot use it). For most other folks that pays for parking.

Last year two of reddits biggest users (and mods) were accused of being Ghislaine Maxwell. The accounts were u/maxwellhill and u/anutensil. It shocked me how quickly those stories sunk, and how some of the stories derided it as conspiracy-minded drivel.
Well, it's been almost a year since, and the accounts still haven't posted since Ghislaine was arrested.
I genuinely don't understand why a wanted criminal, famous socialite and multimillionaire thought (at the time) to be in hiding outside the country and known by nearly everyone would spend her time posting links to Reddit accruing millions of comment karma. It straight up does not make sense, and neither does whatever relationship that has to what just happened. It's a total non-sequitur.
It doesn't help matters that they were fairly well known as power user even before [0]. It's the lowest and least creative form of conspiracy theories - really superficial pattern recognition.

I wish MicroCenter would work on their customer experience. I go to one in Cambridge, MA to buy IoT supplies and it's never organized (despite signs saying "this area stocked by XYZ"), popular products are behind the service counter and not even in the main area (so you have to ask) and associates rush to stick their associate ID barcode on your merchandise and usually at check out another associate takes it off and puts theirs on. Perverse incentives for sales staff and poor customer experience.
But they often do loss-leaders on popular things to get folks in the store, so...
Wait, has the Cambridge Microcenter had 3080s recently? When do they restock?
I've heard of lines in the morning at other Microcenters but don't know much about the one next to me.
It took a pandemic for Amazon's perks to be equal to other companies lol. Just go to blind and see how every Amazon employee bitches and moans about the perks at Amazon. Even at your "concert" people were allowed "2 sodas" lol. Nice.
