I’m a strong advocate of the leadership principles. My organization knows when to cut the noise and get down the business but we have a fairly diverse workplace where opinions are valued but being rude, insulting coworkers, arrogance, etc are not tolerated. Creating an environment where people don’t feel safe means that place won’t be around very long.
Given the number of people Amazon employs, I’m sure some people aren’t the most flattering, but to say we’re conditioning anyone to be assholes isn’t based on reality at all.
Usually people who scream the loudest about others being assholes are the ones who can’t get along.
I was nodding along until this line. The fact that you would phrase it this way makes it hard for me to trust whatever you said earlier.
A predictable pattern.
The common response is that one just doesn’t get it well enough if they have criticisms. That’s what you call a cult. You are the machine that is plowing through businesses and people. Sometimes the field really looks better afterwards, but your paycheck depends on never really looking at the side effects.
