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. ;-)

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.

Not without buying a lot of folks RVs, at least. #SCROTUS
