An Amazon promotion that allowed customers to deliver a $5 tip to their delivery driver maxed out in less than 48 hours thanks to high participation. That day, Amazon was sued for allegedly stealing tips from its drivers in previous years.

The top five drivers who received the most "thank-you's" would earn $10,000 to keep and $10,000 to give to charity.

meanwhile, 

the Amazon exec involved in its "earth's best employer" initiative was recently investigated by the company after multiple employees alleged she created a hostile work environment, according to people familiar with the situation.

The vice president of human-resources science and chief of people-centered science at Amazon, and her team of researchers, data scientists, and economists is generally tasked with studying and improving workplace culture across Amazon.

The inquiry followed allegations that Hastings overused the company's Focus performance-improvement program, often with no clear justification, nine current employees familiar with the investigation said. 

The investigation into Hastings reflects broader unrest on her team and concerns among many at the company that some managers abuse the Focus performance-management system — worries that have the potential to influence Amazon's ability to deliver on its "earth's best employer" initiative.
