> > "You can't internalize [leadership principles] by reading them on the website, you really have to experience them day-to-day," he said. > In my experience, talking about leadership principles (whether in person or remote) doesn't result in new hires learning to follow them. Culture is something you define through action, and your actions demonstrate the priorities and culture of the company implicitly. Apropos of anything, Amazon's attitude to leadership principles grinds my gears. How many are there now? Sixteen? Quick, any Amazon employeee, name each of them! And then their "bar-raisers" are often working the Amazon "superiority", "condescension" hard. Some quotes I've heard from them on the leadership principles: > "We don't expect that you use leadership principles at your current job" > at other companies, employees don't "focus on the customer as their customer", instead "their customer is their boss ... and they're focused on doing what they're told". > "I know I’ve certainly referenced a leadership principle or two while talking about parenting techniques." I'm sure that last one really impressed your partner. "You know honey, I know we're struggling with the toddler transition, but one of our SVPs once said ... and I think that's a good leadership principle we could apply at home."

I will say this without and I mean it. I am kinda done. Whatever reason they can come up with, it does not matter. That ship has sailed when the propaganda machine tried to paint 'driving to work as zen time'[1]. So I am done arguing. We will see how many will do the same, because one can literally vote with feet and just not show up. And.. there is nothing they can do if it is done throughout the industry. On a separate note, if the executives truly think they can just put AI into everything ( and looks like some have truly drank the koolaid ) and let skeleton crew attempt to maintain stuff, I suppose I can't do much else but sit back and just appreciate real life idiocracy unfold before our very eyes.
