“I surmise that a considerable measure of organizations in the tech part and around the nation are taking a gander at their strategies on maternity leave and paternity leave and assessing them”.

Bezos also urged his readers, his employees in particular, to read a blog post on LinkedIn written by senior Amazon employee Nick Ciubortariu, who refuted numerous points in the article and disproved these issues head on.
Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos said in a memo to the staff Monday that The Times doesn’t describe the company’s culture accurately. Again, I dont recognize this Amazon and I very much hope you dont, either.
However, Amazon’s Chief Executive Officer Jeff Bezos, an influential techie, is not seen defending or supporting his company against such abuses made in the report. Over a year ago, Gawker’s Hamilton Nolan published accounts of brutal bosses and high turnover at Amazon from white collar employees that line up eerily close to the Times report, which was culled from over 100 interviews with current and former employees.
“I strongly consider that anybody working in an organization that basically is just like the one described within the NYT can be loopy to remain”.
“And I think Clarkson’s new show is going to be one of those”, Bezos said. I don’t have these expectations of the managers that work for me, and if they were to do this to their Engineers, I would rectify that myself, immediately.
“But hopefully, you don’t recognise the company described”.

Much of the discussion about the Times report makes it seem like no-one expected Amazon’s white-collar workers to be treated poorly.
Ciubotariu has worked at Amazon since March 2014 and has contributed to projects in Marketplace and Search and Discovery.
One employees member, who’s labored in a administration place at Amazon for 18 months, has publicly come out in protection of the corporate, publishing an extended rebuttal to the article on. Consulting firms Accenture and Deloitte both say this year they will revamp their performance review processes, and will adopt a more data driven approach.

The Times story illustrates a cutthroat, utilitarian dystopia where employees gain favor for maiming others’ careers, weep openly at their desks, and are fired for illness or having families.
