This is a social commentary thinly veiled as feedback on how to improve productivity.
Companies are going to spend the smallest amount of money possible on every employee. If they are paying someone more, it's because that employee would go somewhere else if they paid less.
If you don't like the policy of firing contractors, don't blame Amazon. If you were running a company that was barely breaking even, and there were a law that would make your company spend way more money on employees after they stayed more than a year, you would make the exact same call. Or would you let the company go out of business, and put thousands of people out of work, and screw over your investors, to make some impotent moral stand?
- kevando 13y agoI also feel like much of the criticism revolved around a single hire. Everyone makes hiring mistakes and it sounds like this female manger of yours hits that mark. It's unfortunate she stuck around, but maybe focus more of your feedback on the contractor's role at Amazon. And congrats on directing your letter to Jeff, but if you were there for 11 months, you probably learned that someone else is in charge of these smaller matters.
