    But the leap you’re making is between a single statement from one CEO and the nebulous “they”.

    I’ve been pretty close to billionaire CEOs in my career and certainly the ones I’ve come across have been well equipped to handle the job, well adjusted and well meaning.

      Now you’re talking about CEOs as a nebulous they.

      I’m talking about a CEO that said things similar to what an amazon exec said under an article about what that amazon exec said.

      Also I work in software development. There has been a clear uptick in negativity towards developers where I work, which happens to be in a similar field to the one in the article.

      I’ve also worked with AWS, and I can tell you for sure, they can’t afford to lose their best talent. Their system is pretty janky in many places and their boss should be putting more effort in making better software instead of playing games about forcing people to sit in a specific chair 5 days per week.

        I said “the ones I’ve come across”. Thats as “leap free” as I can make that statement.

        I agree re AWS; they’ve already got super disgruntled staff and they definitely cannot afford to lose good staff from this.
