All right, fuck it.
Hey @amazon: While you're spewing Leadership Principles at public school students, see if you can spot which word in "HIRE and Develop the Best" that you forgot.

The LPs have merit, are often misunderstood for long periods of time, and are very much how Amazon runs their business--but they're not universal truths, and they're not the sort of thing you slap on a wall without significant context.
Hiring is hard, filling the pipeline is a process, but if you can't find ways to solve for those problems without what amounts to indoctrinating schoolkids who don't get to meaningfully opt out, then you've become something I can't understand.
I want to be clear here that I enjoy a tremendous privilege: I work for a small company. My heart really does go out to my Amazon-employed friends who get called out on shit like this with a "justify what your company does." Over a million people work there. It's unfair.
Meanwhile the facing wall says things like "Opinions my own," "No comment," and "That's not funny."
