I recently sold half of my Amazon stocks, I plan to sell the remaining half later this year. This decision is due to the following specifics 1. The secretive and corrupt culture at Amazon, 2. the heavy-handed culture or work environment Jeff bozos has created. If you will he has created a chimera.
This tradition coupled with a heavy-handed, enigmatic culture of mistreating employees is a recipe for disaster.

@anvoro And I work outside in the arizona summer. What’s your point? if the employees can find something better, with better conditions and pay, elsewhere, then they should go there. If not, then Jeff is doing them a favor.

I love the focus on choices making us what we really are! I wonder what he means by “service”, but I like how he clarified that being clever and kind aren’t opposites. You can be clever and not stomp on other people. The choice is what you do with your gifts.

For those bashing Amazon:
It’s much easier to hate than to love.
It’s much easier to complain than to create something great for mankind.
You can hate all you want (to make yourself feel better), it doesn’t make you a better person than the ones you hate.
Love you all ****

Shame on Amazon for pulling Wikileaks data and assisting in narrowing the debate.
I will be boycotting you Amazon and I encourage others to do so too.

Jeff Bozo is one sick man. This guy promotes, sells and profits out of paedophile books. This guy has no moral or ethics. I believe in freedom of speech but who would try and sell a book on how to moelest children? Only this scum would sell these kind of books. This guy is the scum of the Earth. Amazon is sick. This scum has no respect for people who have been molested. No decent publisher would publish a how to molest children book. Keep your children away from Amazon and this sick man.
