“In meetings and one-on-ones with colleagues, there’s so much uncertainty and lack of clarity from leadership. … It’s an unsettling time to work at Amazon.” It's been this way since beginning 2022. Tech employees were told to "be grateful to even have a job" during an Amazon-wide All-Hands. Needless to say, with no real innovative direction, incompetent managers (when there are managers; it's hard to fill positions at Amazon these days), and company culture wreaking havoc (including the ominous "we're monitoring everything you do, across all devices"), Amazon is not a place people desire to work. Lie, cheat, steal, and swindle your way to the top has finally lost its steam. Even the most despicable in leadership positions are taxed. How can employees feel good about breaking federal laws, schlepping counterfeit goods, spying on Alexa, Ring, and Blink customers, and bombarding every foreseeable avenue with tasteless, low quality Ads? At this point it is embarrassing to be associated with Amazon. "Out damned spot! out I say!" Yet the mark remains, poisoning the companies Amazon executives and managers end up, reminding individual contributors of the intense psychological trauma undergone for no good reason.
