> who want to have a major impact, and are willing & able, should find a new employer

(These views are my own and I don't in any way represent Amazon, my employer. I wasn't paid to say them either.)

It's easier said than done. There's a pandemic on and most of us are just glad to not be in the ~20% unemployment rate. We have mortgages to pay, children to feed, etc. Many of us just became single-income households. Taking on risks now is hard.

I truly respect Tim's actions. I hope it sparks change.

Yes, which is why I said willing & able. Able in this context means: you have the resources and circumstances to do so. Moreover, you will only resign once you have secured the job.
