It is interesting to me that the tens of thousands of people that work at Amazon with their obsession of solving customer needs are not worried about solving the problem of customers not being able to trust where the goods are being sourced from.

Leaving aside the efficiencies of commingling inventory, even the simple filter option to only show sold and shipped by Amazon.com search results was deemed not to be a customer need. In fact, it was removed. Quite a puzzling “culture” of solving customer’s needs.

So... Where's the "Report counterfeit" button again?

Oh yeah. That's right. There isn't one. Intentionally.

This reads like a marketer wrote it. "A perfect fit for my own engineering training". It's vague and feel-goody and adulation for the company.

What parts of Amazon did you not like?

He's an Engineering Manager of Amazon trying to recruit people for Amazon that is losing people at the moment.

I mean, do you really get anything out of hiring more people?

Anyone else smell astroturf?
