That was a refreshing read. She concluded by pointing the reader to statistics (or lack thereof) instead of appealing to emotions or socio-political views.<p>I don&#x27;t know how things are for women or any group of people at amazon but I am glad to hear women that worked there didn&#x27;t have too much trouble finding a job elsewhere. Being stuck at a company that rejects you is worse than merely running into one.<p>I like to think that to some degree competition can mitigate bad companies.The best and worst companies I worked at have both been fortune100&#x27;s with the best one gaining a competitive advantage if they kept a good employee retention rate. Amazon lacks a healthy dose of business competition, the only area where it faces sound competition is cloud services (and people I knew that work on that side of the business seem to like it)

It appears that if you aren’t a software developer at Amazon, its a bad place to work with a toxic environment. So long as Amazon continues to dominate online shopping, they Bezos won’t change anything.

Genuine question: are public companies required by law to publish those figures in question?
