Because, on average, doing that leads to more sales for Amazon than not doing it. They don't care how any given user (you) responds to it, they care about what increases sales across an extremely large user base. Trust me, they have tested this and it's worth doing for them even if you thin it's pointless.
> Amazon still thinks that endlessly recommending me tourniquets, splints, medical scissors, and tactical trauma kits is somehow going to result in more sales.
And that tactic does increase sales for Amazon, on average. Their endless split testing would have long proven that.
Absolutely. I'm certain it helps SOME people but the claims made by anyone pushing it are absolutely ridiculous. I've yet to meet or hear from a single person who felt any difference from it yet there's shit loads of podcasters and influencers who seem to have amazing results, go figure.
A similar thing is happening to me right now. Me and my Boss are setting up a seperate company with 50/50 equity to attempt the project. He's essentially investing in the company by way of paying me my regular salary as it's being built. If they're offering you no ownership potential it doesn't seem very fair..
Please don't make the error of mistaking optimism, kindness, or politeness for weakness or stupidity.
My post had nothing to do with any of this.
All I was pointing out was that being excessively boastful and claiming that everyone, without exception, finds working with you "enormously fulfilling" is just unbecoming. I feel like many will find that distasteful and you should leave other people to rate their interactions with you. I doubt there's a single person in the world who has a 100% success rate with regards to positive social/professional experiences with others...
I could have definitely worded it more politely and honestly if this account was tied to my personal name I probably would have worded it more politely, so you've got me there :)
If you also act like a cock in person then definitely not. Even the most brilliant people in the world usually have the self awareness to not give themselves glowing reviews, perhaps you're great but have a social blind spot in that regard. If you consistently speak like that in person then many people would not like working with you and that would call your glowing self review into question.
Probably because they're one of the few actually prevelant and real conspiracies within the conspiracy theory world. So many 100% proven examples to point at.
Also, although there's correlation between right wing and conspiracy theories in general, the title is over emphasising that a lot. The interest in the Epstein scandal for example is pretty much universal.
I develop ERP/MRP integrations for a manufacturing company. So we have an ERP system which we purchased and I build things on top of it to enhance processes within the company. Production trackers, product configurators, issue monitoring, things to speed up engineering management etc. I'm sure there are other roles like this in manufacturing firms because very few of these ERP systems actually do exactly what you want out of the box.
It's good because I'm not just a code monkey. I (and others) identify issues/improvements, I design the solution, I implement the solution and then I train people on how to use it. There's a lot of autonomy.
