Hey man - that could happen to one of us! When I make my billions I don't want the government sniffing around demanding more taxes, and I don't want to be shamed for hoarding it either.
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say none of us know the man well enough to judge either way.
Think it depends on the group. We had heard al the rumors but it was a good move at the time. After a couple years not the wife loves it. Schedule is flexible revolving around meetings. They give a lot autonomy as long as you deliver your work.
I think a lot of people that have responded in here probably think exactly that. But the initial post and this “Jeff Bezos is Pathetic” narrative is pretty lame, because ya know, “I gave $100 to a homeless person. ####### Bezos might be giving $10,000 every day to a different homeless person and not reporting it for all anyone knows. OP comes off terribly in this thread.
He has come to this conclusion and is looking for other positions at Amazon. He won't leave yet.. $ too good.
I know my wife is crazy busy but she’s enjoyed her time there. Doesn’t mean she won’t look around once vested, seems like a standard MO to do that. If they want to throw more stock her way at that point, she can decide what to do then. Any fast growing company is going to put you through the ringer. You will stand out if you don’t work hard. If you hate it then leave.
I did this over the holiday season, one time, while analyzing their stock to see if their moat was coming down at all. Strictly looking at financial ramifications as they would pertain to the stock. You have a very strong opinion of my interest on Amazon.
That also struck me as odd - the NYPost article uses its estimate of his total assets rather than his income as the measuring stick for his charitable giving. That might make more sense if he were Buffet’s age, but he’s still actively working. I only think about my current income when I’m planning this stuff.
He gets my wealth because it makes my life easier, no other reason. If mother Teresa could have created a similar service, I would use it.
I just saw this commercial recently:
Nice commercial but the facts seem to be that retail jobs lost are nowhere close to keeping up with Amazon job creation.
In general--I don't understand why people are lumping job creation into the same category as "charity". Hiring people is not charitable-it's profitable. If I have a business that is doing so well that it requires a larger staff of workers to continue to grow--hiring those workers is not "charity". Workers are generally hired because a cost/benefit analysis has determined that they will bring in more money short term or long term than they are costing. On the other hand--workers generally can lose their jobs if a cost/benefit analysis determines that they are hurting a company more than helping it. The work force is integral into making Bezos the richest man on the planet. Amazon giving a worker a job in their distribution center is not an act of charity.
Not better or worse. It's all work. For most people the grind of a
I think you answered your own question. Jealousy.
Are retail jobs losses the sole and exclusive fault of Amazon?
