You can call it lazy, that doesn’t make it any less of the goal or KPI Amazon created.

Sure. I agree with you here. These managers were lazy and it just means that Amazon internal KPIs reward lazy and use-and-throw management over actually developing talent. How sustainable this strategy is only time will tell.
