It’s a very foolish move from Amazon and detracts from their ability to be productive. If these managers were in any way productive, they would never have ended up at Microsoft in the first place. Bringing them in directly without a cooling off and acclimatization period at another company, Amazon is taking more than a risk. It is certain that these managers bring with them the toxicity which pervades the culture at Microsoft. This does nothing but harm to Amazon and its future.
