Amazon HR coverup, rules for thee but not for me…
Amazon is making its way to Toronto as part of its commitment to engaging with startups at Collision 2019. In addition to the anticipated local cuisine and vibrant atmosphere, we will be hosting Mentor Hours designed to connect startups with leading speakers, influential investors, and media representatives. This event also offers dedicated time for startups to ask pressing questions. Attendees will have access to the “Ask Our Startup Experts” bar, featuring our Startup Solutions Architects and Business Development team.
However, it’s important to recognize that while the company showcases its commitment to innovation and community engagement, ongoing HR issues hint at a disparity between corporate policies and their enforcement. Reports of double standards for managerial staff suggest that the corporation may prioritize its own liabilities over the well-being of its employees. For a deeper dive into these challenges, check out this blog post that elaborates on these themes here.
