Think ATT, Verizon, with Tmobile and Sprint attempting to mer...Read more

The fact the company is still hiring and getting more Amazonized day by day (amazonized performance review, hiring an ex-Amazon People Ops lead) reminds me of "hire to fire" practiced by uncle Bezos. Also, joining other bets like...Read more
