Amazonians, what's David Clark like? He's our new CEO

Flexport just got the news. Besides being the piss bottle guy, what's he like to work with? What kind of culture will he implement? Positive and negative anecdotes welcome.

Your valuation might go up but so will occurrences of pissing in bottles

Damn, i wanted to work at flex port purely because of ryan. How do you replace that goat

Flexport diIKWL42 OP Jun 9, 2022

He's great at media relations and being inspiring, not so great at running a billion-dollar company. He needed to go, the real question is what's his replacement like. I'm sure he'll still do CNBC interviews as exec chairman.

You will get a piss funnel to help the flow into the piss bottle. A masterclass in leadership.

A gentleman and a scholar

The storm is coming my friend. Run for cover.

He is very smart but brutal. There is nothing he likes more than moving with Speed and urgency. He is ok if you are not 100% right but you need to be producing some results and iterate. Our team worked directly with him before he became CEO.

I am completely fine with that, I’m so sick of our current “let’s continue to deliberate for 6 months” instead of fucking testing and learning fast

Walmart fukthisbs Jun 9, 2022

Thats about to change my friend. This guy is no nonsense. You can’t BS your way because he has/had deep operation experience (he knew FCs/SCs/delivery station SW in & out and tech as well. Don’t know how he managed to put so much in his brain.

This piece of shit is the one who would visit warehouses, try to find people that weren't working hard enough, and then personally fire them. Enjoy him Flexport! https://www.business-standard.com/article/technology/dave-clark-the-sniper-who-transformed-amazon-s-delivery-system-119121701005_1.html "Shortly after being named Amazon.com Inc.’s global logistics chief in 2013, Dave Clark held a conference call with his new reports. During the meet-and-greet, according to a person on the call, Clark described his early-career habit of lurking in the shadows of Amazon warehouses and scoping out slackers he could fire, which earned him the nickname The Sniper." He thinks he is "The Sniper", but really he is just a jackass on a power trip who sucks at his job. He was fired from Amazon for poor results, he didn't "resign". Too busy power tripping rather than building the business.

Lol got pip’d. what a shitty person

Amazon CRAP-AZON Jun 9, 2022

you don’t climb the ladder to CEO without being a psychopath so, there you go. have fun!

Walmart fukthisbs Jun 9, 2022

Not true. Look at Satya or Sundar. Yes you have to be tough but you don’t have to be psychopath

Amazon grochygirl Jun 9, 2022

get ready to pee in the bottle 😂

Flexport ufdvidzv Jun 9, 2022

So for those of us who don’t drive for Amazon, or work in a warehouse, what is he like?

Flexport flexyback Jun 10, 2022

I’m assuming us white-collar workers will get to piss in a carafe

Flexport ufdvidzv Jun 9, 2022

So does anyone have any actual feedback other than “enjoy pissing in bottles”

Aspiration kYgjb Jun 9, 2022

Don’t be rude and take the piss bottles to the trash
