I kind of was with you until If you aren't a good employee then it is hardly the company's fault.
The company's responsibility is not to push "bad" employees to commit suicide; it's to help them improve, or, if that's too difficult or there simply isn't a good fit, to part with them in the best of terms.
The question here isn't about the performance of Amazon's employees; it's whether bullying is regarded as an acceptable managing practice.
- PascLeRasc 10y agoYeah, if a company is going to use the "we're a family" line to make employees spend extra time, then the least they could do is look out for their employee's mental and emotional health.
- krisroadruck 10y agobit of clarification, I was attempting to say its not the companies fault if you are not a good employee and thus have trouble securing new employment. I was not saying that the company should use the fact that you are a bad employee to push you towards suicide or whatever. I'm not entirely sure how it came off that way.
- mistermann 10y agoBut pushing this person to suicide is actually what they did! My suspicion is that the reason they didn't notice a mental stability problem is because they probably have hundreds of people going through this at any one time. So, change your management style, or face the wrath of (at least some of) society when they read about this stuff. As a customer I love Amazon, but the more I read about them I would gladly take a hit in the convenience department to take them down several pegs and teach them and Mr. Bezos a lesson.
