      Anand Giridharadas Retweeted Amazon News

      After the Bezos gift was announced, it was criticized by many, including me, for treating symptoms of a disease to which Amazon actively contributed. This move to be kinder by operational daylight, not just charitable moonlight — and to push for pro-worker policy — is laudable.https://twitter.com/amazonnews/status/1047064282184241154 …

      One important addendum. Amazon should make clear that this policy also applies to any contractors it uses. Otherwise, the policy may result in relying more on contractors.

      “We listened to our critics, thought hard about what we wanted to do, and decided we want to lead,” Bezos said.https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/02/business/amazon-minimum-wage.html …

      I hope all those who tell every critic I know that “It’s easy to criticize. Talk about solutions” takes a moment to note that Jeff Bezos himself gives credit to critics. Naming hypocrisies is its own essential kind of solving.

      Amazon is one of 4 in the Fortune 50 to have an all white board *and* leadership team. They've got more work to do. I like this, but keep going. #Amazon15http://leadershipdiversityindex.com
