I find it weird that this attitude change might be recent. As early as 2015 people were writing about what a pressure cooker Amazon's white-collar workplace is[1]. I also had acquaintances who worked there and reported that it's a pretty punishing environment as early as 2008. I guess it takes 10+ years for this kind of perception to permeate?

I’ve personally only noticed (and thought) of Amazon as a bad place to work as an engineer in the past 2-3 years, but perhaps I missed a trend.
