Really??? Bezos only left the CEO role in 2021. I've already seen tons of posts and commentary talking about how "It's well into Day 2 and beyond at Amazon", and the founder has only been out of his post for not even 3 years.
Perhaps in plain years he kept things going longer than at Google, but that's just because he held the reins more directly.
- hintymad 3y ago> that's just because he held the reins more directly. Fair point. It is ultimately CEO's responsibility to shape a company's culture, as culture is really just "who gets rewarded and who gets punished". After a CEO steps down, it will be hard to uphold the same standards, for good or for bad, at the highest level.
