So how is it that someone feels that disassociated with the employees under them that they find find that behavior acceptable? The CEO spoke out saying many of these employees were taking advantage of working from home, and being lazy on the company dime. And while that may be true, it does appear pretty rough and relentless to send that many people home for the holidays in the most impersonal of ways.

And then, Amazon Web Services suffers a major outage for roughly an entire workday, showcasing the vast amount of ground covered by AWS. Everything from Amazon deliveries to home security, web hosting platforms and even Netflix and Disney Plus were impacted.
