Billionaire Jeff Bezos To Step Down As Amazon CEO | NBC Nightly News

ner.in.net
Forgot to mention he was stepping down because Amazon was caught with wage theft? Using tips to pay for workers’ salary.
Bill Gates has done the same. I wonder if other billionaire CEO’s will follow Gates and Bezos to focus more on other worldly projects… 🤔
Here’s a tip “don’t be greedy”
Here’s another tip: don’t be jealous
Jeff knows the monopoly is gonna get broken up.
@SSS🌙 if it works to clear Trump of the thousands of crimes he committed maybe it will work for Bezos? 🤔
No, it’s because they admitted on stealing tips from their workers to pay other workers 😒
Wow.
Well done man!
Ha ha ha.
You obviously(eyes rolling)didn’t listen to the whole story here.
Yeah its weird though how he has just been pulled off. Whatever it is though he already has the means to make anything else happen. That is why you only commit to the company once its operating and you make the money that is it.
God bless andbe safe. Thank you for your hard work and dedication. People should strive more to be like you sir. Thank you for everything!
Not interested!!!!
No major *corporate* news outlet mentions that he’s stepping down around the time when it’s come out that Amazon has been stealing wages from their drivers. Not only does Amazon tank a lot of small businesses, they abuse their workers as well.
But their service is top notch- mom and pop shops are cheap and over charge….
@gene colon so that gives them the right to steal from their workers 🤔🤔🤔 are you a special type of stupid?
Exactly! It’s a shame that they steal from people that work for them (me included) and the conditions given you would think they would also be top quality and the pay would be a lot better but not only Amazon but also the companies associated with them are a rip off (a few that I know here in the UK).
Unfortunately the working class always gets hit…
ALL THE BEST.
I thought he’s a trillionaire
In 2 years.
NOT GOOD ENOUGH> #BESOSACCOUNTABILITY #FAIRTAXFORALL #WEALTHTAX
Bezos the serpent traitor everything he does is for the Antichrist
He’s going his efforts into defeating superman
Jeff Luthor
That’s because theres pictures if him surfacing all over the internet with Jeffrey Epstein on his island.
Another rat leaving the sinking ship!
Split it up!
Time to take the choose down.
Gosh. I hope that he will be okay. When I retired, I thought that I had enough, but I soon found out that I could not do everything that I thought.
Gtis that
https://youtu.be/P85afV3OgnA
oh yes
He’s not retiring.
Just to be clear. Excellent move to own a company and lead a company without directly answering to government scrutiny. Nice.
The American way.
Some goes to jail for stealing food for their starving family. He is asked to quit and gets the company to pay a fine when he stole millions from honest workers that do pay taxes. Good job rigging the system for your self Bezos. When you figure out how to get to Mars, take a long trip and don’t come back.
I don’t see why the same people who hate Wal-Mart utilize Amazon? It’s a horrible company. I don’t shop either, because I love my community…
I’m sick of their fake, used, malfunction products and they always blocked my negative review. I cancelled my 2021 membership.
Yea he step down to pull the string behind the scene. He’s the richest man on earth and most hated one.
The maniacal crow premenstrually program because reaction happily excuse amidst a absorbed wool. painful, pumped cartoon
A devil by another name. Shrug off Amazon a d find your community again.
I knew it he wants to run for president
He is like the original lex Luther
Don’t you just love getting half the story. Amazon caught stealing tips from workers. I guess he needed the money.
@ Liz Church
Really, why do you expect anything from the corporate media that would even remotely approximate the whole story?
Of course the corporate media would never bother to inform its viewers that Bezos himself made over $90 billion last year during the pandemic while over 20,000 of Amazon’s poorly protected workers caught Covid-19. The corporate bosses at Comcast — the most hated company in America — also wouldn’t dream of allowing it’s news readèrs to mention that Bezos was named Profiteer of the Year while, according to the FTC, Amazon, starting in 2016, stole slightly under $62 million (pocket change for Bezos) of the tips earned by its contract delivery drivers and used that tip money to partially subsidize Amazon’s base payments to those same contract delivery delivery drivers.

Amazon will pay nearly $62 million over “outrageous” practice of pocketing driver tips
By Jason Del Rey
Vox, February 2, 2021, 1:30 pm EST
The settlement with the Federal Trade Commission comes after Amazon allegedly used tips to subsidize base pay for independent contractors.

Jeff Bezos is a corporate ghoul who acquired his vast wealth — he’s now worth around $188 billion — largely as a result of the backbreaking work of tens of thousand of notoriously maltreated workers, the vast majority of whom are so poorly paid that the U.S. government — American taxpayers — subsidizes their wages in the form of providing them Food Stamps, Medicaid and subsidized housing payments.
Ain’t capitalism great!!!??? Well, yes, at least for the news readers on corpora and the uber-rich. For the vast majority of the working and middle classes: not so much.£y
Jeff Bezos your to old to look for new Job.. 😲😲
Yeah must be hard running a Walmart online .. Only like 5 million sites in the 90s did it before him .. What a visionary.. I can’t wait for his next Idea .. He steals from Elon
Amazon has jumped the shark, haha.
He looks like a young John Keister back then
He will still be filthy rich
Funny this happens after the worker died of covid while testing other workers for covid at an Amazon facility.
Anti-trust investigation you say??
STRONGER ANTI-TRUST LAWS PLEASE!!!!!! > :
JB is a sicko!
Every word in this piece is absolute fluff, until the end, when the girl explains the REAL reasons…
nobody gives a crap
I guess he’s planning on using the “but he’s not in office anymore” defense in the upcoming anti-trust litigations.
With Jeff Bezos having $185.7 billion and the average person having 100 billion brain cells, Jeff Bezos literally has more money than sense.
😂
Lol
And more ways to steal from employees?
Who cares
I thought he owns it
He probably richer then the owner
2 words im never getting married if I’m that rich
two words?
(sound of documents being shredded)
Who cares about these people wealth, you never gonna see them on the street corner pass out any money at all.
He will join BILL GATES IN THE CABAL OF EEEVIL! They will put MICROPCHIPS in VACCINES that will transform you into HILLARY CLINTON wearing CHILDREN´S FACES!!!!
OH MY GAAAAAAWD!
Skynet ain’t gonna build itself…
Why do some people think that it’s a sin to be rich? Stop hating just because you don’t have the money a millionaire has. They don’t owe you anything.
Oh no, can someone tell me how I can keep sending him money?
The lamentable puppy literally improve because cherry comparatively suppose beneath a understood emery. spiky, scientific tulip
bruh stop using the random word generator
o tax now he is down bcos no more his father trump
Poor guy hope he will be ok and will be able get by on that humble, little fortune he made as amazon of ceo.
I didn’t know this dude was from Abq. He could put running water in the Navajo nation over night. Wtf.
The easy handle tribally employ because alibi nationally signal between a curly ikebana. devilish, reminiscent boat
Poor working conditions, low wages and tagging employees like animals. Good bye your replacement will keep up those policies
Ftis that
https://youtu.be/P85afV3OgnA
oh yes
With my AMAZON PRIME purchases since this pandemic started…..YES Jeff Bezos can comfortably step down…. a simple Thank you note from him would be fine.
I have done some research on the cryptocurrency market and Bitcoin seems to be an easy means of making profits, but I really have no idea how to begin Investment on Bitcoins, can anyone please guide me on how I can begin?
@Nils Kemmer Hey, please how do I speak to Mrs. Caroline wells concerning making profits on Bitcoins?
@Kyle Anderson On her email address
Ever since I began investing on Bitcoins with Mrs. Caroline’s Strategies this year has really been a very profitable one for me on Bitcoin Investments, I made a total profit of $ 135,000 last month with her assistance.
Mrs. Caroline wells is a very reliable trader that you can trust, when I began investing on Bitcoins with hee, I thought it was a scam at first. But she kept her words and I was paid $17,000 after the close of my first trade deal with her.
@Nils Kemmer Thank you for the clarification, I’ll send her an email as soon as I get off work.
As a student I strongly feel that media and social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter have become source of major distractions for students. Young boys and girls seem to have become inordinately addicted to these sites.
.
@Jessica Lim Why is this problem so much out of control, do you have any idea?
@Sharon Corbin there is a platform I know where personal security is paramount With it.uproarable
we can build a secure social platform for our future generations.
AFTER RIPPING OFF BILLIONS 🤓
Time to give the money back jeffery 😇
It’s something about that dude that doesn’t sit with me well. Even the type of work environment that those Amazon warehouse fulfillment centers cohabit.
Beezus has left
With a fortune of heft
Why sknhe can go now and hide from all the taxes he should ha e been paying in countries around the world but yet left as the biggest polluter in the world as a company and is the greediest person alive not wanting to give back what he should in taxes to the people helping the government????? Especially during the “worst pandemic ever” ????
Total loser man think that money an wealth is defini g him as a person or will actually mean anything hes a loser straight up no friends all fake friends wanting his money cheater and or ya total loser
I just came to see all the salt in the comments. Was not disappointed :).
Sounds fishy. Maybe he’s trying to avoid potential law suits ?
What a creep, who cares.
He’s just going into hiding cause he knows he got alot of death threats
Jeff will now retire to build a bigger palace complex than Putin has! And then order Amazon to stop shipping Putin his orders of Rolex watches.
WISE TO REFOCUS & AFTER COVID-19, WE ALL NEED TO STEP UP TO OUR GREATER PURPOSE
@Michael Sisson II , a news report said Mr Bezos will continue in New business developments…Relative to ;
@MaryElla Perry he should be in jail for stealing tips from their drivers to pay a third party, but when you’re rich you don’t have to accept accountability 🤷♂️
@MaryElla Perry Trump proved that to us
@Michael Sisson II You just want 2 argue & B right…have a nice Year
@MaryElla Perryargue and be right? 😂🤣😂🤣😂.
Fact: stealing wages is a federal crime.
Fact: Trump has barely shown any accountability for his actions.
There is no argument here other than the one you are literally just about to start 🤗.
You disagree with me on one of these two facts let’s have a debate. Tell me why you disagree? I’ll wait 🤗
Typical corporate move to step aside getting all up the financial benefits and step away from any of the corporate responsibilities of his Monopoly.
Lester,
On this video, your top news story this night …

Dummy he will still own Amazon. He just the head seat.
Doesn’t matter. I still refuse to buy anything on Amazon.
Of course it’s time for the elites to go underground
If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Take the money and run. For President?
Call all the Republicans senators- blast their phone lines. Tell them you want them to pass the democrats version of the Bill and impeach Trump! https://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm
Why is every major CEO stepping down?…
Simple, to avoid accountability
Of course he stepped down, the day prior it was released that Amazon was stealing tips from their workers to pay other workers 🤦♂️.
Because he personally made enough money off the pandemic to buy Greenland.
Jeff Bezos stepped down because Jeff Bezos was just found guilty by our U.S. Federal trade commission on 2-1-21 of stealing over 60 million dollars of tips!! from the hard working lower class people that work for his Flex dilevery services…do u homework or did Jeff bezos pay u off to play dumb.
Getting ready for the great reset. Take the loot and scoot.
cockeyed alien
Amazon resellers make prices higher than the mall.
#mayamazonfail
I joke with my friend now that with me emailing bezos 2 weeks ago about needing to change the lengths of shifts, how stressful is it etc that he’s nows stepping down because of it 😂. Anywho, I did get a response back yesterday and have phone call at 9am with one of the people at corporate to talk about working conditions. Hopefully something positive comes of it
China took Amazon over! Took it from BoZo! Serves him right for making deals with Red China Communist party!
Lex Luthor resigned?
The best thing you can do is stay away from Amazon. Purchase local both food and consumer goods. Financially support companies that treat employees as the greatest asset and respect customers . The fact is Amazon does neither.
this man whose ancestors come from Spain (Valladolid) could already invest a little more in the land of Bezos
Good for him
