That isn't true, there are devs who stay for years. I remember one in particular who had his name on one small but useful piece of tech but otoh I hated him because he was always a few cubes over from me loudly shootin the poo poo with bros or playing with a toy helicopter or watching sports videos while I was frantically fighting fires. On the table in front of me are the very same noise canceling headphones I went out and bought on company time so I wouldn't hear him goofing around

Some months after I quit (having been "managed out" as the article puts it) I got the most plaintive voice mail from my ex manager asking if I might consider coming back. Other people might get satisfaction from that, I just got relief Gazpacho fucked around with this message at 22:14 on Aug 16, 2015 |

some senior engineering manager posted:The desks are a tradition from the old Amazon “door desks” and, looking at how nice they are compared to the sterile, hospital white, pressed-wood cubicle desks at other companies, they probably cost a lot more to make. - a two-inch solid wood top with sealed laminate on the top and sides - four dry unpressed 4x4 legs, edges rounded, usually with visible splits - four joining brackets and four triangular supports, all 1/16 in steel. - several large wood screws they're cheap as gently caress, and they're assembled by the managers in team building exercises

http://qz.com/482080/dear-jeff-bezos-i-wish-you-had-asked-for-my-feedback-sooner/ from the wife of the dude who apparently came up with the idea of not dumping untested code (i.e. all of it) into the warehouses from octobber to january quote:Eventually, my husband’s team was whittled down to himself, his manager and just one other developer. This meant he was expected to be on-call every three weeks. “Our” all-time record was 64 different pages, mostly answered outside of business hours. As his one-woman pit crew, it was my responsibility to wake up with him when he was paged in the middle of the night, to pull over somewhere on the highway to find him WiFi if he was paged on the road, and to make sure that our lives never involved traveling anywhere more than 15 minutes from an internet connection.
