Has anyone experienced issues managing former Amazon employees? I've hired a few ex-Amazon employees (non-devs) on my team at Samsung, and at my previous company (FAANG) and they haven't really worked out too well. They've all been talented (smart), but they're also extremely combative and generally don't work well with other team members. Thought it was something I was doing wrong in managing these folks, but following their careers afterwards I see them bouncing from company to company after spending only months on the job. Is there something in the Amazon culture these folks aren't finding elsewhere? Have other managers experienced similar issues?

Samsung managers aren't used to having their employees point out their mistakes, call bullshit on bad ideas, and go beyond their job description when necessary to get stuff done right.
You want docile little slaves who respect your authority.
Not sure where you are getting the earn trust part? And, some don’t get nailed with “earn trust” by stepping on others. In fact, I’ve seen it happen a lot.
