    @pyko Nice! Did you move to the new office or something?


    @pyko Nice. I saw some photos. Looks awesome!


    This is @Canva. It’s where I work. 🙂 https://t.co/QGUfJyxR28


    @gilmae Hahaha, nice. FWIW, I actually listed “Amazing bathrooms” as my #1 request for our new office fitout. 🙂


    @gilmae Bountiful free tampons. Hair dryer and straightener. PRIORITIES, SIR. PRIORITIES.


    @mobywhale Give it to me and I’ll solve the problem for you.


    @gilmae That’s for after I go to the gym or ride my bike in.


    Made it to 5pm before the paracetamol wore off and I started feeling crappy again. Stupid flu.

    @gilmae Not at Canva.


    @drwitty_knitter Yeah, where a distribution curve is mandated. Some places even have mandatory culls of bottom ranked people.


    @drwitty_knitter Microsoft was one of the most famous proponents. https://t.co/2tFsUXitxA


    @gilmae Oh, yes. Sorry. It was in reference to the Amazon thing.

    RT @ErikMarinovich: Kickstarter is the new SkyMall catalog. A whole lot of things you don’t need but must own.


    I know I’ve been watching way too much Angel, but that NYT hit piece on Amazon makes the place sound like Wolfram & Hart!


    @TheRealBnut Okay, what. http://t.co/6nJuYruJuF

  • Inside Amazon

    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.
