That seems like the Tu Quoque fallacy to me.

Basically, just because someone doesn't practice what they preach does not make the thing they preach any less valid.
To give an extreme example, if someone argues against domestic violence, then you find out they beat their wife, you don't suddenly go "gosh, clearly domestic violence is not bad, otherwise you wouldn't partake in it!"

No, but one would say "You are beating your wife, you are a hippocrite and have no moral authority to preach to me what I should or should not do". If the Amazon leadership is "beating their wifes", they have lost the moral authority to lead the Amazon staff.
