: Internal data & interviews w/ diversity employees indicate Black Amazon employees are promoted less often & rated harsher than non-Black peers. Amazon disputed the data in the piece but wouldn't provide alternative info. : “Earns Trust” is an absolute disaster and always has been. Catch-all for “we just don't really like you” and if it was used against me I can only imagine how it impacts folks already so disadvantaged, but I literally never worked with any Black colleague consistently in 4.5 years : Amazon's race problem: Black staffers promoted less frequently, rated more harshly, reports Oh, and a white male manager told a Black female employee, unprompted, that his ancestors “owned slaves but I'm pretty sure they were good to their slaves.”

Let’s see, does the work of 1/10 that of whites, what the nigger does do, has to be redone by whites, takes more breaks than anyone else, can’t work without talking out loud, so whole floor can hear, to shaniqua about their nappy hair, stinks to high heaven so others can’t work without having a gag reflex, where there is one nigger cause productivity around them to fall because nigger, when they Fuck up, blames racism.

I’m surprised not more of them are sr managers.
