Amazon to investigate allegations of harassment and discrimination in its AWS unit

Amazon will investigate allegations of discrimination and harassment within its Amazon Web Services (AWS) unit, following an employee petition that criticized AWS’s culture.

More than 550 Amazon workers signed the petition, which calls out AWS for its “underlying culture of systemic discrimination, harassment, bullying, and bias against women and under-represented groups,” The Washington Post reported.

What does the petition hope to accomplish and what has been Amazon’s response?
