Playing such behavior down like "So many thousands work there so it's alright" is a very negligent attitude IMO. Companies that treat their potential employees like this need to be called out and shamed.
I'm not saying Amazon shouldn't scrutinize who they recruit. Please read the post with an open mind and think for yourself whether they have crossed lines of sensibility or not.
"nothing more than misguided condescension from a bystander"
- No one is judging Amazon for its x thousand employees. Only its hiring practices. Which is creepy and stupid. I don't need to know everything about the company or its 230K employees to judge their hiring practice.
You misunderstand my point; by "scrutiny," I mean the media coverage on + testimony of things that amazon is doing wrong. I am all for bigCos being subject to watchful eyes. My qualm is that you somehow see this very specific problem we've gathered here to discuss as an excuse to hold moral high ground over the thousands of people who works for the company in a wake-up-sheeple style rant.
Init sure why you think this has anything to do with the people who are already working for the company. My comment was only about their hiring practice and potential candidates.
I do not hold moral high ground over the folks that made Amazon this attractive a tech place to work in the first place.
Still, just calling out their "current" hiring practice as evident from recent experience posts as creepy, stupid and something to be ashamed of.
