I did a few searches and didn't see this article posted. I absolutely love it, and hope amazon is ran that way and it's not a fluff article.

I am 100% against the google 'chill and play pool, work when ya want' type model. 100% against it.
99% of people will read this article and threaten a boycott against amazon, but being this is a entrepreneur forum and we have a lot of business owners I am deff interested to hear your thoughts.
