The person who warned me about Amazon -- before I ever applied there-- was not an engineer. She was a receptionist. She'd worked in the main office in a low level office job. She told me the company had no respect for employees.

I was foolish (and a little desperate) when I applied at Amazon. Because I had been told.

This has nothing to do with them not being a tech company-- I just don't like tech people misclassifying them.

This is all about them disrespecting their employees. Not having competent managers for engineers is a form of disrespect. But all the sexist, obnoxious and rude things done to my friend who was non-technical are also disrespectful.

This isn't about me being "arrogant" at all.

This is me just warning you about a terrible experience I had!
