| 2018-05-16 |
| That Seattle City Council vote to tax the hell out of large corporations has consequences; this is one of them. [Boston Herald] - Amazon unveiled a new office in Boston’s Fort Point for nearly 1,000 employees, the latest step in the tech giant’s ongoing expansion in the city. "What we’re really looking at is where can we hire the people we want to hire?" said Mike Touloumtzis, the head of Amazon’s offices in Cambridge and Boston. "They’re here." The new office takes up six floors at 27 Melcher St., more than 150,000 square feet. Each floor includes a transportation-related theme, and is centered on ways Amazon packages make their way to customers. Living room style chairs and tables are tucked into little nooks throughout the office. Only about 350 employees work at the new office right now, but Touloumtzis said the remaining 550 will be Amazon also has a big-honkin' warehouse in the West Roxbury / Dedham area, so this won't be their last move in this area. Bye-bye, Seattle! |

| #1 I just checked the maps - it's in a very nice area 5 minutes from South Station. They'll have no problems finding willing employees for this place. I'm actually walking by the place tomorrow. Well, more like hobbling, but that's another story... |
