Inside Amazon: Wrestling Big Ideas in a Bruising Workplace – The New York Times – Yikes. I have friends who work there and this makes me worry about them. I had heard they had a reputation for being a “sweatshop,” but this hit piece makes them sound more like Wolfram & Hart.

@RadhikaR Haha! I need one more ball for a project but they didn’t have it. 🙁
@RadhikaR Also, I used to work for that family managing the city knitting shop for 4 years. 😉
@RadhikaR Not stressed. Just sick. Finally caught the winter flu bug two days ago. I’m tired.
RT @TheRealBnut: @web_goddess I made a @canva logo, although I had to rotate it 45 degrees to centre it nicely. http://t.co/WiU1OWoHN5 #64s…
@TheRealBnut Are you hinting for a @canva beanie?
@RadhikaR Oh, I missed you! Was in my own little world. Sorry…

@i386 But I only just got there! Now who am I going to send snarky hipchat messages to? 🙁
@lisaaharrison1 Fantastic! I’m crossing my fingers for you…
@i386 Or I guess there’s always Twitter. So everyone else can bask in our reflected awesomeness.

@Saibhai Wow, that’s cool!
@grabyourfork They kept spam-liking me on Instagram for months before they opened though. That was annoying.
@imdominating Yes yes, Indigo Girls… but Beth from the Walking Dead is a SINGER? wtf?
@imdominating HAHAHAHAHAHAH
@imdominating “Year of the Farmer”? Isn’t every damn State Fair year the year of the farmer?
I’m attending! Please join me. https://t.co/ttvCjuFzcQ
@imdominating Jealous. “Jenny… you’ve got some barbecue sauce… on your face.” (Did you watch WHAS: First Day of Camp yet??)
@imdominating He was good. But Paul Rudd gross-kissing with sparks and REO Speedwagon? WAS THE BEST.
RT @theaarondouglas: http://t.co/JiVKfQB85r
@grabyourfork It was weird. Maybe because they worked out I live locally? I thought for sure they would’ve targeted you!
@drkknits You forgot recruiters.
@drkknits You learn something new every day… 🙂
RT @definatalie: RT if you still know all the words to Salt n Pepa’s Whatta Man.
Made it to #sydtechleaders. Full house! I’m drugged up and trying to avoid hugging people. Say hi to @CathJones0! http://t.co/U8L0SVEgXR
Trying to remember if I’ve ever in my life heard a man referred to as “bossy.” Nope. #sydtechleaders
Wow. @MrPommyGit says MYOB interviews all women applicants regardless of CV review. Great idea. #sydtechleaders
@lisaaharrison1 Did you sneak in the back again?? 😉
Leadership in tech is 94% male. Suddenly feeling better about being “post-technical.” I haven’t opted out of the fight. #sydtechleaders
@gilmae It’s interesting that the ones complaining about all the male voices are actually guys!
@gilmae But @darthted said something similar. I’m sympathetic to talkative people; I find it hard to shut up. So I don’t blame gender much
Moderating panels is HARD, yo. I’ll grade myself about a B- on that one. #sydtechleaders
@darthted @gilmae Lesson is to be very clear about process for audience questions up front!
@gilmae @darthted I am terribly oblivious of introverts. It’s something I’m working on. SPEAK UP, quiet people! Meet me halfway!
@gilmae @darthted Haha, I was so glad when Owen called that out! 🙂
The next part of the rollout is happening!! https://t.co/LxZ3PHhhg7
@ejapat Neither can we!! 🙂

This was the tour we went on last November, and it was so fantastic. I’m sad they don’t get to fly back by seaplane anymore though – that was definitely a highlight!
Woot, my knee-jerk don’t-overthink-it pub-quiz answer was Iran which seems to be [✓]. I ‘knew’ it was more populous than…
