I will never work for Amazon

I will never work for Amazon

UPDATE#1:   A former Amazon employee has contacted me and pointed me at the Former And Current Employees (FACE) of Amazon site.   Check it out.   Are all of these people lying or exaggerating?

UPDATE#2:  What The New York Times Didn't Tell You refutation by Jay Carney.

Today I have been contacted yet again by a recruiter from Amazon:

This is despite my LinkedIn summary starting with the following text:

(Please don't contact me about Amazon roles. Also ONLY opportunities in Vancouver or remote-friendly please)

This is despite me having already said NO! to Amazon recruiters on numerous occasions in the past few years and explicitly asking to be blacklisted.   They obviously don't share any information between themselves.

This is all despite me publicly boycotting Amazon since 2014.

Amazon is a horrible, horrible, company.   Please, Amazon recruiters, never darken my door again.   Seriously.    Thank you.

For any recruiters seeking to understand what I have to offer and what my requirements are, I wrote this Bob Summerwill for Recruiters article.   I am not looking for new opportunities at the moment, but that's what I'm looking for if I become available again in the future.

And everybody, please read the New York Times article from last year: Inside Amazon: Wrestling Big Ideas in a Bruising Workplace

Once again for the umpteenth time, I've been contacted by an Amazon recruiter (this time they unprofessionally texted me on my phone AFTER leaving a voice mail), this time for a location more than an hour and a half away in GOOD traffic. NO I won't work for Amazon! You abuse your employees and are the poster child for unions. I've just left an abusive company and I won't work for another if I can help it. I've even interviewed with Amazon in the past out of morbid curiosity and i didn't like what I saw. X-ray machine scanning like going through airport security at the entrance?! No real furniture in the offices? (that takes cheap to the next level - using plywood). fake rah rah pep rallies at the start of shifts? employees looking miserable! lawsuits and constant bad press over employee abuse! no no no.... you can look for your sweatshop boy somewhere else. I won't be a part of it. Please Amazon recruiters.... STOP contacting me. I got more self respect.

Thanks for taking a stance against blood sucking American tech companies of today. Google and iCrap (Apple to some folks) are very similar
