Unfortunately, only a few days after announcing their new, highly praised, indefinite remote work option, Amazon is back in the news but under a different, less favorable light. 

The New York Times ran a tell-all article this morning shedding light on the terrible mistreatment reported by countless Amazon employees.  People were underpaid, some fired without notice after taking medical leave, and this is only the tip of the iceberg. An email from an employee to Jeff Bezos initiated an internal investigation; hopefully this wake up call will help the company address culture issues head on and repair the damage that's been done. 

In this episode I'll give you the matrix to a human-centric culture that will help you nurture a healthy, thriving organization. The Great Resignation is here and people are no longer settling for substandard cultures where they're overlooked, undervalued, and treated poorly.

So what should we do?
