This isn't a meaningful criticism because -- well, watch what people do, not what they say. But it isn't even coherent because you're working with an out of date list: https://amazon.jobs/en/internal/principles

I've been asked to reword my peer reviews to be a function of leadership principles only. And my promotion is justified as a function of them as well. They run very deep. I cite them on a weekly basis.

The two new principles are less than a year old. They aren't taken as serious as the other originals. The culture is already established.

> And missing from this set of principles? Any mention of the humanity of those you are leading.

If you want to argue that the culture doesn't match them, whatever, but you can't say nothing's mentioned.

I think "only added to the principles this year" for a company as mature as Amazon is pretty telling. Going to take another 20 years to reset the culture to those last two principles.
