That's the feel I get from reading Brad Stone's "Amazon Unbound" .There were multiple instances where Bezos appear devoid of kindness towards employees.
E.g
'...In 2009, Onetto’s human resources deputy, David Niekerk, wrote a paper titled “Respect for People,” and presented it at an S-team meeting. The paper drew from Toyota’s proven Lean ideology and argued for “treating people fairly,” building “mutual trust between managers and associates,” and empowering leaders to inspire employees rather than act as disciplinarians.
Bezos hated it. He not only railed against it in the meeting but called Niekerk the following morning to continue the browbeating. Amazon should never imply that it didn’t have respect for people embedded in the very fabric of how it operated, he said...'
"...Among the final straws for Onetto was a September 2011 story in the Morning Call newspaper in Allentown, Pennsylvania. The paper reported that the company’s warehouse in the Lehigh Valley had gotten so swelteringly hot that summer that workers were passing out and being transported to nearby hospitals by ambulances that Amazon had waiting outside. An ER doctor even called federal regulators to report an unsafe work environment..."
"...Before the incident, Onetto had presented a white paper to the S-team that included a few paragraphs proposing to install rooftop air-conditioning units in Amazon’s facilities. But according to Niekerk, Bezos bluntly dismissed the request, citing the cost. After the Morning Call article drew widespread condemnation, Bezos approved the $52 million expense, establishing a pattern of making changes only after he read criticism in the media. But he also criticized Onetto for not anticipating the crisis.
Fuming, Onetto prepared to remind Bezos of his original proposal. Colleagues begged him to let it go, but he couldn’t. As they anticipated, the meeting did not go well. Bezos said that as a matter of fact, he did remember the paper and that it was so poorly written and ambiguous that no one had understood what course of action Onetto was recommending. As other S-team members cringed, Bezos declared that the entire incident was evidence of what happens when Amazon puts people in top jobs who can’t articulate their ideas clearly and support them with data..."
"...Bezos didn’t want another empathetic business philosopher to replace Onetto as the head of Amazon’s operations; he sought an uncompromising operator..."
Genuinely curious to know why you think the gulen movement is a bigger threat to secularism & democracy in Turkey & the world.
From my findings, they start & fund secular schools(elementary to university), fund & organize interfaith dialogues, fund social programmes etc.
I've skimmed a couple of books written by Fetullah gulen and what he preaches peace, love and cooperation amongst all. Of course, every group has it's idiosyncrasies, but can't find anything out of the ordinary with the gulen movement.
Has it been established with proof that the gulen movement is responsible for the coup?
Every advanced economy in the world (UK,US,Germany,Japan, NorthEast Asian Countries etc) at one point or the other protected and supported it's industry at infancy till they became globally competitive.
Economic historian Paul Bairoch dubbed the
United States ‘the mother country and bastion of modern protectionism’
Why shouldn't China support and protect it's industries?
As a Nigerian living in Nigeria. It's sad to see how a lot of sub-sahara africa countries take certain actions that hurts them in the name of free trade.
ROS1 is primarily used with linux unless you use a VM. ROS2 can be used on linux, mac or windows. You can also check out AWS robomaker to use ROS in the cloud.
Same thing here! I woke up this morning and saw that I've sent out spam emails (about 15 of them) with my email address via telus and receive responses in my inbox.
