It's more like bad things happen and people blame it on whatever peeve is irking them. It's what happens when your investigation already has a conclusion and just needs you to fill in the rest to suit your wants.

Food shortages? Well that predictably explains the uptick in saber rattling from them lately.

Fuck all, got it.

And if this goes through it will do what exactly?

My primary concern is that they'll bring Amazon's toxic corporate culture with them. Otherwise with most places you wonder why they left, but with Amazon you wonder why they stayed. Yes, I get it that they had a vesting structure that made sticking around really attractive from a financial perspective, but have you seen Amazon workers? Everywhere has happy workers and hollowed out husks and In my personal observations Amazon's ratio isn't good. We've had folks leave for Amazon and then come right back after they realize the mistake they've made.

Mind you, I'm not saying all of the Amazon tech workers are in a horrible place either. Some people can thrive anywhere, some don't have a lot to compare against and have no idea what the rest of the world is like, and some might be under amazing managers who shield their crew. In any case you still interview them, they might suck they might be great, they might be super thankful for rescuing them from a horrid place.

The hardest part about interviewing people is that within the span of 45 minutes it's easy to find reasons to say no and harder to be reasonably confident they'll be a great fit.

In my experience having a few years working in Amazon is actually a negative on your resume. 6 months is possibly positive, but if they're there for like 4 years something's probably wrong with the candidate.

There's no limit to the amount of work I can't get to.

That's like leaving a 5¢ tip at a restaurant. You're effectively saying you remembered to leave a tip, but you've purposely made it a very bad one to send a message whereas leaving it off leaves some room for doubt.
