There’s not much I love about Amazon. Chasing all over town for a widget is not environmentally wise either, so we do occasionally succumb to the convenience - but try hard not to, unless we can’t find the product locally.
My biggest gripe is the Amazon corporate model. It has become so large, so ubiquitous, and so lopsided, that I try whenever possible to NOT support it at all. I once tried to find the differential between the average employee and the head (Bezos) compensation. One source summarized Bezos makes 8million per hour (in stock funds). Another suggested he makes 1.2 million times the average worker. A third outlined that the average employee makes $15/hour, and Bezos makes the same in 12 milliseconds.
I highly respected the original compensation philosophy of Ben&Jerry’s (head CEO makes no more than 5x lowest paid employee). That morphed over time to 7x, then 17x by 2000. Creativity and Ingenuity are worth something, but NO ONE is deserving of the differential made by Bezos. Most companies’ success is still built on the backs, time, & lives of other employees .
