Yet another thinly veiled stealth lay-off by a technology company. Amazon’s cloud boss Matt "The Prat" Garman will indeed see some departures, as intended and desired. However, that first wave will be of their most talented, who feel confident they will land on their feet elsewhere, leaving those that simply cannot leave (yet) or those that will cozily under perform. When Amazon applies the inevitable followup reductions (subjectively based on their internal review process) to remove the latter, and the former buckle under the load or also leave, Amazon will be left with lower-middle talent at best.

The more I see of business "strategy" among this layer of "leadership", the more I'm convinced it is just a game of Jenga with talent, resources, infrastructure, security, quality, etc; pulling out as many pieces as possible in the drive for short term/sighted gains until a company collapses under its own dysfunctional "efficiency" and "success".

Remove the word "luxury" from marketing material, and cut the price in half. The world needs more electric Model Ts, not environmental-esque virtue signalling for a minority of drivers.

Court "ordered" end to a strike generally means that any contractual, union or legal protections workers have are forfeited if the strike continues (i.e. folks can be fired, benefits lost, even sued in some cases). This is not uncommon in regimes where the judicial system has been compromised (USA, Israel, etc). That being said... be a real shame if productivity of non-striking workers were to mysteriously plummet to effectively non-existent levels. ;-)

OP's original post/questions, in case you're curious. They have quite the history of posting and commenting, receiving substantial downvotes and then deleting or obfuscating. Verdict, troll or puppet account.

So happy to see this happen. Been using convoluted retail space hacks, detours blocks away or braving the Ponce Murder Crossing.

Cool, now look at the dark money fueling Cop City.

They'll just make up hundreds of smaller shell companies to hide their activities... oh wait, they're doing that already.

This sort of measure needs to tied to a body with the resources to monitor/investigate and the power to seize properties from violators, for it to have any real ability to deter and change things.

Let's hope it is better than the BOOX Nova Air C Color. I'm convinced its initially popularity was from paid endorsements and folks suffering from Stockholm syndrome. ;-) Lackluster color (even by eInk standards), very bad ghosting requiring you to crank up the fresh rate so high as to make the battery life laughable. I think they actually pulled it off Amazon due to the high number of returns.

 

One step closer to that all-trail bike ride completely around the city! ;-)

 

The Walgreens store at Five Points in downtown Atlanta, a landmark for its art deco design and iconic Coca-Cola sign on its roof, is expected to close next month.

Not without buying a lot of folks RVs, at least. #SCROTUS

For the past three years, a Dunwoody neighborhood has been home to a dinosaur display, inflating it into a popular attraction. However, someone complained about the display. Now, city officials say it has to come down because it violates the Dunwoody sign code.

 

Atlanta is a major city located in the southeastern United States. It serves as the capital of the state of Georgia. It hosts the headquarters of several Fortune 500 companies, including The Coca-Cola Company, Delta Air Lines, and Home Depot. However, like many major cities, it also faces the challenge of crime in certain neighborhoods making up the top 3 most dangerous neighborhoods in Atlanta.

 

Outdoor chess tables cast in solid concrete have been added to the pavilion area. Bring your own pieces, or borrow a set from the Brownwood Rec Center.
