Just a quick reminder that one of Amazon's LPs is "Success and Scale Bring Broad Responsibility". If you need to lay off a considerable chunk of your workforce because you overhired, then there's no "Broad Responsibility" in your "Success and Scale". Just wanted to point out how ironic it is. Other remarkable LPs: "Strive to be the Earth's Best Employer" "Hire and Develop the Best" "Are Right, a Lot"
Bro don’t take LPs serious! 🚮
… unless you are in an interview with Amazon
🤣
This is an incredibly dumb take. AMZN went from 700,000 ➡️ 1.5m in a few years, then laid off 18k. Broad responsibility pertains to giving back and the environment (which they’re also failing). If you want to throw shade, the LP you’re looking for is “Strive to be Earth’s Best Employer”
I agree, that's a laughable one too :)
Key word “strive” meaning no promises given
18K is considerable for Amazon?We have 1.5M employees of which, ~450K are corporate.
Yes it is. It's 18K of people that have worked hard to get their jobs, and may have families who depend on them.
As opposed to 18k homeless?
LPs (and “company culture” in general) is for the plebs
"LPs for thee and not for me" - leadership
Seriously anyone who drinks corporate kool aid is a moron...
Leadership principles are principles given by leadership to employee slaves, they are for employees not for leadership. Employees have to earn trust but leadership doesn't care to earn employees trust
This^ Unfortunately at Amazon, leadership principles are bs talk that imply, do as your manager tells you to do. They almost never apply in the reverse direction. That's also the reason why they conflict with each other. Management can always use one or the other to justify their actions, but don't you dare to do the same or they'll pip you ;)
💯%
Why everyone keep on saying 18k but it’s actually 28k. 10k in November and 18k in January. They played very smartly by dividing it into 2 parts.
Math stopped mathing..
Are you sure? I believe the official number is 18k including both
The LPs are actually an inverse code. Always take the inverse of what they say to find out what they really want.
Become a manager at Amazon and chill. They will be the last to get fkd
When did Amazon follow LPs earnestly ? Amazon is the most pretentious company ever in world history.
Are u new to amazon ?
Why shaming op? Op is just asking for consistency between what higher leadership promises and their real action.
I know it's nothing new, I just wanted to write it somewhere. It was a shower thought.
