Satellite Sisters August 16, 2015: All Five Sisters Tackle Body Heat, Amazon and Potato Chips

On today's Satellite Sisters, we tackle workplace issues from thermostat wars and millenials who bring their parents to job interviews to today's eye-opening story about what its like to work at Amazon. First up, Monica has Science of the Obvious:  Men and women seem to prefer different temperatures in the workplace. It's actual science, people. What's her personal plan for dealing with this? Lian brings us a story from a career coach on Huffington Post about how the parents of millenials may actually be holding their adult children back.   Liz asks:  Just exactly how important is it to you to make sure customers get their toilet paper quickly?  The New York Times has a fascinating story today about the workplace culture at Amazon today.  Entitled INSIDE AMAZON; WRESTLING BIG IDEAS IN A BRUISING WORKPLACES, it's definitely worth a read.  Does your impression of Amazon change when you read male ex-employees say "Nearly every person I work with I saw cry at their desk." Or that a true Amazonian is called an "Amabot" because they enjoy the results of the "continual performance improvement algorithm."  Yikes.  Are we suprised that there's not a single woman on Amazon's top leadership team?  Discuss.  Julie has a complete International News Round-Up from Uzbekistan, Kurdistan, Thailand and Dubai. Sheila gives us the update on her successful baby shower and, finally, we get the complete Lab Rats chip quest 2015 report on Lay's Do Yourself A Flavor Please visit our website for the latest info on both our new book You're The Best: A Celebration of Friendship.   We also have a new Events page.  We'll be adding to it all summer and fall.
