Why do faggots from this company ALWAYS (without fail) talk about their work in context of corporate politics and levels?

>oh yeah Greg is L5 but his skip manager is L7 and he said that she said...

Never have I seen an Amazon faggot actually talk about technology or product. It's amazing.

Because jeetazon is corrupted by a culture of izzat where every interaction is transactional. If you aren't taking others izzat yours is being taken.
if you are really curious this guy, the rare exception of the self aware Indian (he earned the right to not be called a jeet), explains everything you need to know about how pathetic jeet culture is

It's systemic. This company is famous for using aggressive rank and yank management techniques, essentially regardless of what actually gets done a certain percentage of people need to be fired every year and a certain percentage need to get promos. Naturally this incentivizes performative work, political posturing, cronyism, infighting, etc.

I had an ex amazon boss that had some beef with them over his departure
we were big aws customers though so they sent a sales team down every once in a while or when some new shit with an inscrutable name came out
one time they get walked over to me because my boss got called to an emergency off site
this happened 3 times before I asked him why he was gone every time they came down
he laughed and said fuck those guys but at least you get a free lunch at the steakhouse out of them

2025 Amazon is orders of magnitude larger than 2015. In 2015 they were still mostly relying on third party shipping like USPS, UPS and Fedex. Nowadays it is mostly in-house and since then they basically created in 10 years from scratch the Amazon Logistics subsidiary.

See? This is how they all think, they must win in every single interaction or else they lose. They embody Ricky Bobby from Talladega nights.

Despite the narrative of being 'Peculiar', I like to think that we're actually the archetypal big, soulless corporation. Worship of the hierarchy is common in human nature, and MUCH more common in corporate environments. Not specific to AMZN in anyway, but most exemplified by us (and M$ IMO).

>Never have I seen an Amazon faggot actually talk about technology or product. It's amazing.
That's because the product or technology is tertiary concern for us in 2025. What's most important for us is alignment with leadership, crafting narratives, and serving up metrics slop to assure them that their guidance is correct. Much, much more focus is placed on narrative design and "goal language" over technological innovation. Don't get me wrong, Amazon is a HUGE company and innovation is > 0 here, but the vast majority of concern here is political. Hence:
> hurr durr L7 this durr L8 that
>>
>>107593173
Because Amazon is so big and employs so many unskilled dumb people that it's a bonafide institution. Stupid people in institutions see their assigned rank as a measure of their rank in humanity. They only care about the society that exists in their institution and see everything from the perspective of their assigned rank. They don't know or care to know anything outside of this system, it's all they want and need in life.

It's exactly the same as people in the military, police force, universities (not professors but nameless employees) or government bureaucrats (not politicians but nameless paper pushers). That numbered letter is the whole meaning to their lives.
