    I personally know 3 different people who worked at the Amazon corporate headquarters in office jobs. All three came out mentally and emotionally broken and defeated after just a few years. Some office employees get signing bonuses deferred and payed out only if they survive some number of years. They internally refer to it as getting their ‘golden handcuffs’ unshackled. One of the three people made it to then and quit…the other two quit after the first year. Amazon is a grinder of human meat, and it looks like they’re getting back into the business of grinding with this new policy.

      Everyone remembers the peeing in bottles part of Amazon’s model but the way they turn through office staff is less talked about. Amazon’s business model is based on crushing their employees no matter their department, job type, or level.

        I worked at an Amazon warehouse for about 2 years, I think the only reason they couldnt chew me up is cause I took to telling people to go fuck themselves for basically everything. “Can you go to sortation” Fuck off no, we only have 3 people using pallet jacks right now, maybe if you didnt reorganize sortation into an inefficient mess so managers could pretend to do something this wouldnt be a problem.
