When I left Amazon last year, there were effectively two Amazons. One is a group with half baked product or service ideas, throwing garbage at a wall to see what sticks. The other Amazon is like a retirement community worker, keeping legacy services alive, ensuring their security recertifications, and not much else. There isn’t even a concept of innovation.
Though I don’t work there anymore, I’m still a shareholder. I look forward to the company trimming the excess fat. If the broader market really is impacted, unfortunately, there’s going to be a massive army of H1Bs suddenly faced with leaving the country.
