Everyone is quitting
Just more fodder for my mental reasoning for why Amazon is on my lengthy blacklist of companies I will never work for.  It&#x27;s kind of amazing to me how many companies in the tech sector have given up even the vestige of being about technology and how it benefits people in favor of being some of the most ruthless and sharky people in the business world.<p>There was a point in my life where I&#x27;d say I&#x27;d never again work in government, finance, or healthcare related companies, and now I actually find I&#x27;d rather do that because management politics is &#x2F;less cutthroat&#x2F; and more reasonable in those industries than it is in tech. I hope maybe we&#x27;ll see a real revival in the tech industry one of these days, but so many of the companies that have made it big have done it by stomping on the people who actually matter.  Tech these days is all about big egos fueled by big dollars, but the numbers don&#x27;t actually matter so things are irrational from the top all the way down.<p>At least in finance, the numbers are all that matter at the end of the day.  At least in healthcare there&#x27;s a semblance of care given to the patients.  At least in government there&#x27;s an understanding if not a fulfillment of the social contract.  In tech all we have are douchebags with big wallets and bigger egos (Bezos, Ellison, et al) destroying the lives of their employees (and sometimes their customers) to enrich themselves at the expense of all others.  It&#x27;s completely pathological.
