Its a yearly event that collect directors and above fork across the company to a week long “convention” that is supposed to be about building cohesive between leadership.
The author went in 2022, when they had bon jovi play, and said it was just a boozy networking event where leadership was dictated to by the execs with no actual exchange of ideas.
In 2022, Amazon made a record profits, but even then they were admonished to save money. Still, no layoffs.
This year? They also made record profits, but had record layoffs, yet the party goes on.
The authors overall point is that Amazon is successful by asking people to “lean in,” to go the extra mile. When you freeze wates and layoff 10,000s of thousands while threatening more and still throw you 10 million dollar party for yourself, you are telling good people to not only leave, but to lean right the fuck out before they do.
