These are aims which may be argued as present in many firms; the difference with Amazon are the policies in place to achieve these aims. Amazon is known to be a harsh workplace (Kantor & Streitfeld, 2015)
There are some policies put into place to encourage employees. There is a share ownership scheme, but the vesting is slow, only 5% after the first year, 15% in the second year, 40% in the third year, and 40% in the fifth year (O'Donovan, 2015)
The lack of trust in employees is also demonstrated by the secret feedback mechanism where peers can anonymously criticize each outer, with the criticisms being used on performance reviews (Kantor & Streitfeld, 2015). It may be argued that the feedback could be positive (Rossman, 2014), and some is positive, but human nature leads to more complains rather than compliments, even if they are not justified
