Amazon hires outside investigators after employee petition alleges discrimination and harassment
CNN
Amazon has hired outside investigators to probe the internal culture of part of its cloud computing operations after employees circulated a petition alleging "systemic discrimination, harassment, bullying and bias against women and under-represented groups."
The petition, viewed by CNN Business, specifically addresses concerns among staffers within an Amazon Web Services (AWS) unit known as ProServe, which assists enterprise customers with adopting its cloud computing products. It alleges that "many staffers have expressed concerns that the internal processes relied upon to investigate and defend AWS's handling of these matters are not fair, objective or transparent." The petition claims that "the system is set up to protect the company and the status quo, rather than the employees filing the complaints."A provocative new work from the artist behind that duct-taped banana tackles gun violence in America
