I wonder what their recruiting team thinks about these moves by the company. I know I will not work for Amazon seeing how the manage dissent at the company and I’m sure there are many other people who feel the same.

>>gryzzl+ch
The cynic in me thinks that for any number of potential candidates who feel the same, there are exponentially more candidates that just want to work there regardless, and the recruiting team knows this.

They could be alienating vastly more people than that. However, they only need to higher a tiny fraction of the US workforce each year. So, it’s still not a significant issue.

>>Retric+Wl
Their pool is not the entire US workforce, it's a relatively small group of highly skilled workers in a market where those workers can make tons of money at many different companies.

Alienating a fraction of that workforce will impact them, I think.

>>static+gt
Warehouse workers are not highly skilled. But, even if you’re talking just say programmers they still employ less than 1% of us.

>>Retric+aT
I am referring to programmers, and specifically a subset of programmers that can pass a difficult interview - most developers are absolutely terrible, probably > 50%, so cut that number in half at least. It's a relatively small number.
