When tech giants like Amazon expand, other companies don't just worry about losing business. They also fret about hanging on to their employees.
Some of the industries that have defined New York City and the Washington, D.C., area will face increased competition for talent when Amazon sets up shop in their territory, with plans to hire 50,000 new workers amid the tightest job market in decades.
The expansion comes at time of fierce demand for computer programmers, mobile app developers, data scientists and cybersecurity experts. Salaries keep rising as companies from banks to retailers seek new technology professionals to expand their online presence and automate operations. Particularly in demand are software developers, with many switching jobs each year. Even some banks have eased up on their dress codes to project a hipper image.
Good news, ye techies working on Wall Street! Soon you might be able to wear jeans and t-shirts to work.

The sets I built in the high school theater were mostly lightweight canvas tacked to wooden frames. AC without a doubt will soon assure me that's what Amazon's alleged second and third headquarters were be, so I don't need to list all the fake jobs that Amazon will claim they will have openings for in Queens.
I've already listed some lightweight painted canvas companies in Alexandria so I can trick the unfortunate into applying there that will take precious time away from subsistence farming in flower pots on their section 8 apartments' windowsill.
Everybody repeat after me: "Fuck MDC".

Those who aren't mentally ill often assume those meds actually _work_.
I got manic three times this summer despite that I was taking Trileptal, which is widely regarded as an effective Mood Stabilizer (ie. anti-manic drug).
