Throwaway account because I don’t want my primary account to be associated with my career in any way.

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.
