Milestone 2 – Amazon as an Employer

Amazon is one of the most well-known companies in the nation. I think that everyone at some

point has used Amazon to buy and ship something for themselves. Based on the case study provided, the

corporate culture and toxic working environment has led to a deep problem with employees working for

Amazon. Jeff Bezos is said to throw tantrums when given bad ideas, even saying things like “say that again

and I might kill myself”. Another issue is that there are no women in top leadership, and women who have

children have been told that they will have a hard time advancing their careers because having kids takes

time away from being able to work. One other issue noted is that employees are encouraged to report

negative comments about their coworkers in an attempt to save their own jobs every year. This cutthroat

culture is also one reason that women tend to not advance their careers as much as men, women tend to

not be as okay with throwing coworkers under the bus to save their own jobs.

Hypothesis:

Our group believes that these working conditions and moral issues within the company stems from the

executives at the top and how they are leading the company. They are not leading by example a company

with morals or ethics, they are showing employees that there is nothing more important than work.
