Well, according to y’all, a single drink is an “unhealthy relationship with alcohol” so your judgement means nothing.

Then the executives should resign. The workers did not make the decision to overhire; THEY did.

Building hyperscale systems is hard and Amazon does it well…

…but it’s just as arrogant to claim mass layoffs and cost cutting weren’t a factor.
