But he is really sorry, and didn't realised the seriousness of the situation. So he is a good guy now, ok? /s I have no sympathy for him. If he really wanted to make up for his decisions (or at least for not addressing issues), he would have stayed as CEO and fix it all. It really looks like a childlish attempt to... I dunno what exactly are Bezos' intentions. Is it a get out of jail free card? 'I wanted to change and improve workers situation, but my successor totally ignored it'.

He is still a shareholder. Let us see him put his vote where his mouth is. Will he push for amazon workers to be paid, to be given sick days and humane working conditions, or will he continue to care only about returns to fellow shareholders?

  Shareholders have power - sure, but very little of it and very little power to actually affect change outside of board actions. He already gave his answer by surrendering the power he could have used to change things. If it comes out that he was pushed out for trying to actually change things then more power to him, but I find that extremely unlikely.

    I don't know his exact ownership percentage, and how that correlates to voting power, but from what I've read and what I've heard from Amazon employees I would have a hard time believing that he couldn't have basically done whatever he wanted with the company at any point.

      Until recently he owned about 40% of the stock. Lately he has sold most of that and only owns 10%. Either way, he was and is a major shareholder with more than enough power to shift any discussion re worker treatment.
