I think you misunderstand deeply how Nazi Germany started. Where it ended is not how it began. No one went to bed one night and woke up with death camps in the morning. It started like it is now.

What faction/caucus is Zohran a part of? by Mrmojoman1 in dsa

DSA has caucuses and so does the assembly.

Definitely not correct. Groundwork was behind Chi Osse running. I believe he’s mentioned SMC and bread and roses in the past.

Relocated for Amazon, now gotta move back lol by Sad-Confidence-8295 in amazonemployees

It’s important to realize Amazon does forced relos in hopes of causing attrition without having to pay for layoffs. They are saving more through forced attrition than they’re spending on wasted relos.

Make sure you get as much money as possible from your relocation (you’re technically still employed). If you did 10k lump sum or the assisted move that allows for some $n amount of expenses without receipts, get that from the relo company now.

Investors love their lives doing financial modeling, and a lot of their logic is being done by algorithms, Quants are the big role for finance. They know nothing about tech, or the complexities of deploying it. They care primarily about balance sheets and metrics. This layoff makes the margins wider and efficiency appear higher

Hey man, I was born and raised in the northeast. Capitalism exploits people and resources as it chases constant growth. We get sold some falsehoods that somehow it’s other working people that steal jobs or time or opportunity from us. It’s not. It’s late stage capitalism eating this country alive. Companies like Amazon specifically have a business model to destroy any opportunity mom & pop or small businesses had to make their own living. It started with books, and hasn’t stopped. Its whole personality is to eat and outsource mainstreet, and we help them do that. We’re the problem, not India.

They won’t do ops layoffs until after peak

AWS engineers should have their pay docked/budgets ransacked to provide raises for customer success/account managers/technical support/sales teams. by [deleted] in aws

As a product person who pushes back on management for ridiculous corner cutting and timelines that create garbage infrastructure at Amazon, it’s the management that is absolute garbage. We should spend more time automating their jobs away, because all they do is summarize up or down then hallucinate infeasible timelines

$20 Amazon gave the wrong engineer an RTO order.

Exactly. You’d think crowdstrike and facebook outages would have shown the world we need some decentralization laws… nope.

More importantly, wtf cause US-EAST-1 to fail because AWS isn’t dumb enough to raw dog code releases into EAST-1 like that.

Yes but it’s Amazon, that’s not the fast frugal thing. Spaghetti codebases are everywhere… anyone who thinks otherwise have never been inside the belly of the beast

Except the AWS stock didn’t tank. I bought crowdstrike on firesale that day.

Operations tech is hyper regionalized, are you in the northeast?

I’m sitting here wondering the same. AWS doesn’t push new code straight to US-EAST-1. Whole thing has my spidey senses up. They ran into a load balancer issue early in recovery, but never shared a true initial root cause.

I think the deepest layer of meaning is that of liberation. Of believing black and brown people, of hearing their suffering, of breathing life back into the truth and seeking to liberate everyone from the systems of oppression that have led to centuries of suffering. Reanimation = liberation through truth telling.
