    While this is totally shitty. What does this have to do with technology?

    We are talking about Amazon corporate decisions, not Amazon technology solutions or anything, why is this here?

      Amazon is a company in the technology sector. They might be a retailer but they are also a part of big tech and the foundation of much of the Internet. A large portion of their workforce are tech workers.

      Articles like this are not focused on warehouse employees, they have to go into the office to do their jobs at all. This article is talking about people who don’t have to go into work to perform their job… Like tech workers.

      So like it or not, this is tech news.

        I’m afraid I simply don’t agree, Technology news, and news about people who have tech jobs are not exclusively the same thing. I get your point of view but it just doesn’t feel like it belongs here.

        I think this community needs to have clear cut rules on what is and isn’t technology (as far as the admins decide.), and whatever they is ill shut up and follow it. Otherwise people like. E will continue to downvote this stuff as it simply doesn’t seem appropriate.

      You literally have to use technology to use Amazon so I think that qualifies right?

        By that logic literally everything posted on the internet is “technology” which… it isn’t.

        So no, this doesn’t count.
