Ex-Amazon VP recalls he 'screwed over' team member in 2005, calls it his 'career's dark spot'
Ex-Amazon VP Ethan Evans recalled he once "screwed over" a top engineer after promising a promotion for doing "whatever was needed to ship the project". Calling it his "career's dark spot", he said he couldn't promote him as he wasn't aware of Amazon's process and that he was "incompetent, not malicious". "I'm the bad guy in the story," he added.
