More likely that it doesn't work out for Jassy. Certain Amazon units are underperforming under his leadership, and I wouldn't be shocked if his time at Amazon didn't last that much longer.

You can only artificially raise the price of real estate for so long.

But if you can only see as far as the next quarterly report who cares?

That's actually against the law known as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (also known as Sox or Sarbox Act).

I don't see anything like that in the article. Can you explain?

[-] SendMePhotos@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

AFAIK the act is meant to hold corporations accountable to fair and accurate reporting as not to artificially inflate their own value or the value of their assets or stocks.

I don't think that would outlaw forcing employees back to work. Especially if they keep quiet about the true reason.

I believe I misunderstood the context. My mistake.
