I've seen very similar situations. My theory is it's because we have glorified assholes like steve jobs and every executive thinks they are the next jobs.
There are no negative consequences for screwing over employees.
- stronglikedan 8y agoAs well, there are no negative consequences for an employee screwing over their company, so the balance of power remains.
- IshKebab 8y agoYeah they can get fired.
- anon4242 8y agoNot sure whether legally binding but many of the contracts I've been given as an employee has included at least some paragraph about damages in case my actions as employee hurts the company (e.g. disclosing trade secrets, poaching employees, etc).

- bartread 8y agoI'm not so sure. Probably depends on multiple factors such as size of local economy, how many similar employers are in an area, how big the potential hiring pool is, but word gets around. One consequence is you can struggle to hire, at least for a while. Very much an intangible though.
- jarsin 8y agoThe word has been out that Amazon is a potentially very bad place to work (depending on team) for many years now. While I'm sure they can no longer hire some people due to their reputation it has not stopped droves of engineers desperate to get in there. A former employer of mine that is nowhere near Amazon success level has tons of horrible glass door reviews calling out the senior managers yet still people join.
