I just don't understand why Amazon hates its employees so much. These are the people making you billions and billions of dollars. And their jobs very clearly do not require them to work in an office, nor does it sap productivity, as years of experience and multiple studies confirm. And people could previously work in the office if they wanted to, so it's not like anyone was alienated before.

It's like the execs are just sadists. There's no upside.

"Amazon is guided by four principles: customer obsession rather than competitor focus, passion for invention, commitment to operational excellence, and long-term thinking."

It should be pretty clear where employees, suppliers, and partners stand in the Amazon hierarchy.

>commitment to operational excellence

One could rightly interpret this as, in part, 'treat your employees good and with respect', but alas, that got missed in the MBA coursework.
