Chapter 1: The Unexpected Resignation

The announcement of Jeff Bezos stepping down as CEO of Amazon took the world by surprise. It was an event that unfolded rather abruptly.

However, further scrutiny revealed a twist: Bezos didn't actually resign; instead, he self-terminated due to what he perceived as poor performance. A senior Amazon executive, who requested anonymity, disclosed that he overheard Bezos having a rather intense conversation with himself.

"I've always regarded myself as a highly efficient machine," Bezos reportedly told himself. "Yet, I must adhere to the standards I set for my employees. I refuse to impose unreasonable expectations on them if I can't meet them myself. This is precisely why I work them tirelessly and reduce their benefits—it's all in the pursuit of building an empire. A business must serve its customers, who are always right."

Bezos declared a ban on vacation days for all employees once the pandemic struck, arguing that remote work meant they had unlimited time off and didn't require additional days off. When asked why he believed he could bend the rules, Bezos visibly paled. He avoided eye contact, pulling out a handkerchief to dab the sweat forming on his bald head. After an uncomfortable 12 minutes of silence, he finally spoke.

"I completed all my tasks ahead of schedule this week," he confessed. "I realized that my dedication to work was straining my relationship with my girlfriend, so I decided to fly my private jet to Cancun for a couple of days without informing anyone. I just wanted to reconnect with her and revive our romance."

This explanation did not appease Bezos, especially as Amazon's stock plummeted from $3,800 to $3,300 during his brief getaway. As a result of breaching company policy, he summoned an HR representative to formally end his own contract.

The executive recounted seeing Bezos leaving Amazon Headquarters at 4:30 PM, carrying a cardboard box filled with old dishes and expired pizza coupons.

We attempted to reach out to Bezos for a comment, and he responded with optimism. He regarded the self-firing as a hidden blessing, stating that it provided him the opportunity to focus on what truly matters. He expressed intentions to follow in Bill Gates' footsteps, aiming to channel his efforts into philanthropy and personal redemption.
