My girlfriend worked for Amazon doing finance stuff around a decade ago. They treated their software engineers like royalty and everyone else like robots. She said they had open bars and chefs preparing gourmet meals on demand that only the tech staff could use, while she was brown bagging her lunch every day. Maybe that’s common in that industry, I don’t know, but hearing that made me laugh because it sounds so Amazon.
