Yet another thinly veiled stealth lay-off by a technology company. Amazon’s cloud boss Matt "The Prat" Garman will indeed see some departures, as intended and desired. However, that first wave will be of their most talented, who feel confident they will land on their feet elsewhere, leaving those that simply cannot leave (yet) or those that will cozily under perform. When Amazon applies the inevitable followup reductions (subjectively based on their internal review process) to remove the latter, and the former buckle under the load or also leave, Amazon will be left with lower-middle talent at best.
The more I see of business "strategy" among this layer of "leadership", the more I'm convinced it is just a game of Jenga with talent, resources, infrastructure, security, quality, etc; pulling out as many pieces as possible in the drive for short term/sighted gains until a company collapses under its own dysfunctional "efficiency" and "success".

Remove the word "luxury" from marketing material, and cut the price in half. The world needs more electric Model Ts, not environmental-esque virtue signalling for a minority of drivers.

Court "ordered" end to a strike generally means that any contractual, union or legal protections workers have are forfeited if the strike continues (i.e. folks can be fired, benefits lost, even sued in some cases). This is not uncommon in regimes where the judicial system has been compromised (USA, Israel, etc). That being said... be a real shame if productivity of non-striking workers were to mysteriously plummet to effectively non-existent levels. ;-)

OP's original post/questions, in case you're curious. They have quite the history of posting and commenting, receiving substantial downvotes and then deleting or obfuscating. Verdict, troll or puppet account.

So happy to see this happen. Been using convoluted retail space hacks, detours blocks away or braving the Ponce Murder Crossing.

They'll just make up hundreds of smaller shell companies to hide their activities... oh wait, they're doing that already.
This sort of measure needs to tied to a body with the resources to monitor/investigate and the power to seize properties from violators, for it to have any real ability to deter and change things.

Let's hope it is better than the BOOX Nova Air C Color. I'm convinced its initially popularity was from paid endorsements and folks suffering from Stockholm syndrome. ;-) Lackluster color (even by eInk standards), very bad ghosting requiring you to crank up the fresh rate so high as to make the battery life laughable. I think they actually pulled it off Amazon due to the high number of returns.

Why the closed doors? To quote their own rhetoric, if you've got nothing to hide, you've got nothing to fear. Oh right, he's probably bringing receipts from their boss, Putin.

They do seem to have some prioritization process, because I have seen repairs performed much faster (3-5 days). Maybe get more people in your area to report the same issue?

I unironically re-read *Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH* the other day for the first and only time since I was a young child. While the movie holds a larger mind-share in my head, unsurprisingly, the book has more nuance and depth. Honestly, it would make a good pre-history for a *Mouse Guard* like world after the collapse of human civilization (pick your apocalypse).
Is there anything like /r/listentothis on lemmy.world or elsewhere in the federated lemmy-verse? I need to be exposed to music that I'd normally not find otherwise. :-)
