Am excited to be coming back and participating in #AWSreInvent this year. Have so much passion for our #AWS community, and there is no better gathering of our AWS community than re:Invent. As always, the priority is to make this a learning event so customers can take nuggets back and change their own customer experiences and businesses. We’ll also have a bunch of goodies for you that we’ll announce and that we think folks will like. See you there! reinvent.awsevents.com/?trk=cf3e167e-…

@AwareOfTheNarc This happens to me all the time when I talk about the sexual harassment at work at #Amazon. The craziest part of it is that many times, the people denying the abuse were never even there, never even worked at DHO5 or #DHX3

"Narcissist amnesia" is when narcissists pretend to forget or they’ll deny past actions & behaviors, especially those that are harmful or negative. This selective memory leads to confusion & frustration. It’s a manipulation tactic used by them to escape accountability.

Amazon doubling down on the fiction that their workplaces are “safe and inclusive.” Yesterday, an Amazon worker told me about how she was forced to endure sexual harassment and retaliation from a manager for six months—until he was fired for doing the same thing to other women.

Just got this statement from Amazon, in response to the comments by @RWDSU's Stuart Appelbaum in my story. It's something: cnn.com/2021/03/26/tec…

Amazon no longer working w/Neil Gaiman after two more women say he sexually assaulted and abused them, extending the timeline of his misconduct across five decades. @MasterClass meanwhile: ‘Sign up to an online course by an alleged sexual predator for £10/month!’

This has been such a scary time for so many people across the Southeast. We’ve been in close communication with frontline responders today in Florida and have pre-positioned trailers ready to begin delivering Amazon-donated relief supplies, including water, diapers, shelter kits, hygiene kits and other critical items. Our hearts continue to go out to everyone dealing with the impact of Hurricanes Milton and Helene, and we’ll continue to help support relief efforts. aboutamazon.com/news/community…

Another exciting model update from @AnthropicAI. Upgraded Claude 3.5 Sonnet is now available in Amazon Bedrock. It significantly improves upon the previous version, especially with coding where it scores higher on SWE-bench Verified than all other publicly available models. It also now has a new capability in beta for develoers to explore called “computer use,” which enables Claude 3.5 Sonnet to generate computer actions (like keystrokes and mouse clicks) to automatically complete tasks that might usually require dozens of steps (ex. booking a flight or ordering from a website). It’s still early for it but the promise is exciting. Cool to see the model progress and happy to have it as part of the widest selection of best-in-class models available in Bedrock. aboutamazon.com/news/aws/amazo…

@Stopworkplacebu Record as much as you can! Document it! I have dozens of witnesses to leadership and associates calling people n*ggers and b*tches at Amazon (DHX3 & DHO5) but attorneys will ask you for PROOF. It’s against company policy to record on Amazon property bigsmileblog.com/post/another-o…

@ajassy Andy, I wrote you an open letter detailing the sexual harassment and racial abuse in the sites #DHX3 and #DHO5. I hope you and other Leaders will read it. Any lawyers who can break down how/if Title VII was violated at my delivery station? bigsmileblog.com/post/another-o…

Amazon and Walmart have normalized abusive behavior in their warehouses and stores, putting profits over worker health and safety. Excessive surveillance technology, union busting, and grossly inadequate wages inflict harm and contribute to deepening economic inequalities.

@OxfamAmerica This is so true. At #DHX3 Leaders and coworkers would constantly refer to Black employees as N*ggers. I told my team that I was uncomfortable and found that slur demoralizing. Hearing the word “n*gger” over 2000x/day was bad for my mental health bigsmileblog.com/post/another-o…

Judge Kathleen Ryan of Oakland County, Michigan (in the Detroit area) has been removed from the bench for racist comments caught on tape. “If you’re an American Black person, you’re a f***ing lazy piece of s***.” “I’m not systematically racist. I’m a new racist.”

Most people can take a joke. What they won't take is disrespect disguised as a joke. There's a difference. Do you agree?

@Stopworkplacebu 100% agree with this. My coworker at DHX3 called a Black coworker a n**ger and a monkey and then “jokingly” offered him Popeyes chicken and a banana. My L6 didn’t have to worry about how disrespectful this was because he isn’t Black. He didn’t care that… bigsmileblog.com/post/another-o…
