This is dramatic but nothing unusual at a large company like amazon. This shouldn't really be on the front page.


Are you saying that when dramatic stuff becomes usual, it's not as dramatic any more?


I'm saying this is more like gossip and less like something that is intellectually interesting.


I get your point but this whole story is very interesting for anyone that has not been desensitized by widespread corrupt and unethical behavior. We should never unlearn how to feel outraged at bad things.


Incorrect. This is a prevalent yet still poorly understood phenomenon that has an impact not just on those in the tech sector (as many of us on HN are), but also on society at large. Philosophers and activists have repeatedly tried to explain this type of behaviour, but we still have no answer. I find it very curious.


I have not followed the course because a lack of available free time but I am sure it is really interesting, a relevant to the Amazon case : Unethical Decision Making in Organizations [0]

If you're sending Amazon money, as a retail customer, or very much relevant to HN, using AWS, it matter a great deal how honest they are.
