The one time I was dumb enough to go to the amazon all-company meeting instead of treating it as a free sleep-in day, I saw Bezos give a shoe to a guy.
And I was like, "this guy builds spaceships, and he gives out stinky old tennis shoes to high achievers? And they don't, like, hit him with it? Where's the self-respect?"
But I guess that's why I'm an ex-amazonian. Got a 20% salary boost when I ditched 'em, and no pager duty. See ya, Jeff.
