In my case, like most businesses, IT is a cost center. If it weren't government you'd be right, and they'd put us in the cheapest space possible. Since it is government, there is no such thing as "cost of a desk". There's "space we have" and they tetris'd staff in into some pretty odd places, from suburban office parks to the State Capitol building.Amazon's IT side is revenue generating, they absolutely would put them into their HQ. A former co-worker took a job at HQ1 in Seattle doing the same kinds of data center work I do. Data center staff are included in the types of employees they're trying to attract (as well as distribute across the country in case of disaster). |
