A job is a contract between two parties for a period of time. If you remove all kinds of unspoken expectations from employment, it would be a productive arrangement for the two parties. In a scarcity world me being an employee expects the employer to be more generous but when I have better opportunity, I am more likely to be not loyal to the company the same way a company replaces me with cheaper options. Employer needs good PR to be perceived in positive light and the employee has to meet the loyalty threshold to be hirable. The game gets more complex. Turns out, humans prefer long term relationships when it comes to employers. Amazon is like a short term fling may be a 1 year stand. I doubt their retention is better than that. We will have to see the long term effects of this trend. I predict that if people perceive amazon as a short time gig, Amzn will have problem hiring anyone other than immigrants with visa regulation handcuffs.
