Been with Amazon for over a decade.

The frupidity used to be a huge sore spot, but being honest, is no longer a part of the culture.

Sure, there are no catered buffets or massage chairs, but the old inflexible rigid frupid systems are all gone. Engineers get top of the line M1 Macbooks, nice monitors and good chairs. The desks are all adjustable sit/stand, not doors. You can get and expense whatever software you need. And yeah you gotta fly coach but nobody is going to bite your head off for expensing some peanuts from the mini bar at your hotel.

Going to push back on this.

Mid 2022, my (brand new) manager received a rigorous scolding for holding a team event where the team (spread out across East Coast and West Coast) met in a single location (Seattle; where majority of the team was) for a couple days of team building (i.e., working in the same office, going out to lunch).

Frupidity may not be the correct word. Perhaps miserly is more appropriate.

What if you work in a warehouse and need to pee twice a day?

Top of the line? When I started a year ago I was told to specifically not opt for the Windows laptops because they ship garbage HP units with 8 gigs of RAM as standard

Only to be then shipped a base M1 Macbook with 8 gigs of RAM anyway!
