For humor- here’s the Amazon link to it

Target is a way worse employer than Amazon by miles and miles.

Target is woke as F***

He’s a lifelong democrat, and donates to liberal/progressive programs.

Democrats are terrible employers who really hate the working class.

How quickly people forget that the OG tech CEOs were ruthless. Bill Gates (before Melinda) was not charitable nor noted for his kindness.

Paul exited Microsoft quickly and dedicated the rest of his life to improving Seattle and the world. Could not be a more stark contrast.

Bezos is very famous for NOT donating to barely anything his whole life.
His ex wife donates their former money.
He's a union-buster with a penchant for hiring Objectivists into leadership positions.

He pays his political grease money to Washington State politicians, who are Democrats, as well as to Republicans.

He purchased the WaPo, which leaned slightly left when bought.

After Besos became the owner, the WaPo took a hard left turn.

His progressive politics and activism are obvious.

Just because your daughter, one single person who has worked there for over 5 years, doe not make it BS.

According to LinkedIn, most work there for less than 4 years. Check it out.

Some former Amazon executives took over the C-suite of SunPower, one of the world's largest solar panel manufacturers. They made a variety of questionable decisions, including selling off their proprietary manufacturing technology ("Hey, you think the thing that keeps our company on top might be worth keeping or should we try to goose the stock price by grabbing some cash?")

Like any good corporate story, it winds down with them getting caught doing some shady accounting. The stock price has crashed and they are jumping ship with their lovely golden parachutes.

The smartest guys in the room, for sure.
