Life at amazon.com

... can really suck sometimes. The distribution centers in Europe are currently down and they are missing almost 5K shipments per hour (major bleeding). I have been fire-fighting whole night. As is always the case, more than the technical problem it’s reassuring people from all over the world that our teams are 200% focused (100% each for day and night) on their issue, is what makes the job difficult. Thankfully I just had to talk with folks in London, Frankfort, Glasgow and Seattle tonight. At least we spoke the same language. (Tokyo is the worst and China is in the pipeline)

Although, I do see light at the end of the tunnel – I leave my job in a month :)

Hi Abhi,

It is easy to find faults but difficult to praise. I try to find opportunity in each challenge.

Get ready for next challenge in France :)
