Apparently could give $105,000 to all 876,000 Amazon staff and he would still be as wealthy as he was at the start of the pandemic.
Jeff Bezos to step down as Amazon CEO
- Thread starter Pexbo
- Start date
Kinda like Putin.
President bezos 2024?
Yeah just get a yes man to do all the shitty parts of their day job and spend their time pursuing more interesting things! What’s not to like about being uber rich and powerful!
please no. he's a snivelling shitebag. Even Musk has more redeeming qualities than he does.
Anyone set up a JustGiving page for the bald bastard yet?
I worked at Amazon up until a week ago as a delivery driver. Terrible terms and conditions and treat you terribly.
Was so relieved to get out of the job after 3 months definitely wouldn't recommend working for Amazon.
They didn't care about us at all and to top it all off it was a self employed job so not working for the company.
Capitalism is ruining terms and conditions for workers.

I used to work for Amazon in the UK where they do a thing called "Amazon Flex" which gives the average moose a way to earn some extra quid a week however it's the worst customer service known to man and their routes are equally ridiculous, I did it when it first started out but it turned into chaos eventually and if you get stuck on the motorway through no fault on your own and you end up "timing out" from your shift, you are fired or at the very least presented with a warning to not ever do that again which if you ever lived in London during the afternoon then not a chance.
Eventually I got terminated

Fyi they never reply back once you present them with evidence
As a consumer, I love Amazon. Order anything and receive it in 24-48 hrs, it's a massively impressive feat. Can't fault baldy either for starting from scratch and building a trillion dollar company (although he's still a creep).
He's stepping down just in time since Amazon will probably get broken up in the not too distant future.
When it does will that likely be along retail/cloud/(?) business sectors? I could see it turning into another standard oil, where the parts famously became worth more than the sum of them.
It’s hard to say, although the one thing that can’t happen is for one company to comprise 50% of all retail sales in the world’s largest economy, where the idea of splitting it up is rejected for fear of what it may do to markets.
As much as I agree it's hard to imagine a way of splitting up the retail side at this point (just from a practical standpoint).
If they ever do it, it will be the b2b side like AWS breaking off from the consumer retail part.
You can't help but be impressed by them. In a country where 2.5 hour lunch breaks are the norm, i can go on Amazon and have pretty much anything i want delivered within 24 hours. Workers make sacrifices for that to happen, but I also know people in their head offices and that sounds like a great place to work.
I'm willing to commit my entire life savings. Sure, it's only £8.60, but Jeff would undoubtedly spend it on something cool and edgy, whereas I'm destined to blow it all on Wispa multipacks.

Adding AI to all vans to monitor drivers now aren't they?
I'd be happy if he or Amazon never existed to be honest. What he's built is too good. I try not to buy from Amazon, but then I end up on Amazon.

And less problematic to boot.
Deserves a rest, good man.
Think big work smart
Love Amazon customer experience but all the stories I've heard from people from the inside leave me no other choice than to have no respect for Bezos.
Why say many words when few words do trick?
Fingers crossed
Sounds like a good idea, to fly a brand new untested space rocket with sightseeing passengers in place of test pilots.
Somewhere right now, two engineers are sitting in front of a board with the header "Let Jeff die":
