Everything happens on a continuum. On the continuum of scumbag insane entrepreneurs, Bezoz is hanging off the extreme end by a thread. I haven't done business at Amazon for years. I won't be starting any time soon.

A saying around the Amazon campus, "Amazon is where overachievers go to feel bad about themselves." HR at Amazon is reminiscent of the Gestapo in 1933.

I have one of their facilities down the street. It's absolutely crazy during the holidays requiring rerouting traffic & police watching over all of the mayhem 24/7.

Maybe they're crazy. Back before I went to counselor school when I was the VP of purchasing for the packaging company, all I ever needed to hear from the management of one of my suppliers was that their sales force was available 24/7...and I was out looking for different suppliers.

80 hour work week. You're an asshole if you demand it. You're a fool if you accept it.
