@CapitalOne i’ve tried disputing a credit card claim from a faulty product that merchant sent and is refusing to respond to my follow up request to return/refund. You’re claims business is allowing for this scam business to get away with it
@capitolone I’ve spent more than three hours on the phone with your customer service today and you continue to support a scam business instead of your own customers.

One of my favorite coworkers recently left Amazon, which sucks for me but is great for all of you since he’s taken his formerly internal blog public. Recommended reading! From @TimothyWhalin timothywhalin.substack.com/p…
Judgment is a soft skill that is infrequently discussed yet critical to how leaders operate. Like any soft skill, judgment is improved with time, practice, reflection, focused learning, and mentorship.

For the past two years, I've written an internal blog for my colleagues at Amazon. The blog grew to over 5,300 subscribers and 120,000+ views. Now that I've left Amazon, I'm starting to write my blog externally. I hope you'll join me.

#1/5: Reinventing the Wheel
When “Let's be innovative!” wins at the expense of “Let's do things effectively and quickly!”
Examples:
Facebook going hamburger menu before tabs
Horizontally scrolling web pages
Being a leader means identifying a gap that exists in a team or org and stepping up to fill it without being asked. The further you go in your career, the more you'll find yourself stepping into leadership roles that no one asked for and that you don't feel qualified to be in.
