There is a wonderful article in the NYT today on how awful it is to work at Amazon as it becomes the largest retailer on the planet.[Inside Amazon: Wrestling Big Ideas In A Bruising Workplace, By Jodi Kantor And David Streitfeld, August 15, 2015]The best part about the lengthy article is not one word was mentioned in a NYT article about immigration, immigrants, diversity and multiculturalism in the importance of the success of amazon.
