What makes it particularly irksome is how Amazon fashions itself as a data driven company, requiring reams of evidence from employees to get promoted - but that doesn't apply to the S-team and their decisions, because they are obviously just applying the "Are right a lot" LP!
- oblio 4y agoWhat makes you think they don't have data? It's just data they can't share because it's not morally palatable.
- gorgoiler 4y ago> The announcement comes after [the company observed data from] nearly three years of experimenting with different models of hybrid and fully remote work
- Moissanite 4y agoData which they haven't shared. Don't you think that if it was convincing, they would gleefully publish it?
- rajin444 4y agoDoes anyone actually buy data driven? Seems like a great methodology to adopt if you need to absolve yourself of responsibility for your failures. Most questions people try to apply “data driven” to are so ridiculously complex I’d need to see some incredible methodology and ground breaking understanding of human behavior to put any faith in them. There’s just too many unknowns and confounds. Data driven is great when you’re monitoring computer performance, but that’s a domain humans have nearly built from the ground up. And even then it can still be very hard to utilize that data. Trying to apply the same to systems we barely understand seems fraught with error.
