Well, thank you very much. It is sometimes rare to hear a simple "I agree" as response. You and me both know that we don't agree on everything - otherwise discussions would be meaningless.

You seem to be arguing from the perspective that the ultimate goal is to make employees happy -- you are wrong. The ultimate goal is to make profits. That means making customers happy. Making employees happy is only necessary insomuch as that makes the company operate more smoothly, which is not necessarily a high bar. It certainly is not necessary to make them happy when they make you unhappy -- I believe this all started because Amazon somehow got the wild idea that they were suffering from abnormally-noticeable theft?
Very well said. It is exactly the point I tried to make. Your version sounds more sophisticated.
