When did Amazon have office perks? Afaik the intention was always to have the worst possible office experience in the name of frugality, thus the door desk
I wouldn't call it the worst possible office experience.
I did a 'virtual internship' at Amazon during COVID, and the mythmaking is just as strong of a koolaid at any Muskcorp... these billionaires are the height of hypocrisy (Elon Jet, and Bezo's Yacht contradict thier talking points) but make it a priority that thier underlings must accept as gospel and makie it a talking point in the ethos of what makes these companies what they are.
