This is 100% correct. The average stay at AWS is less than a year. Each employee has color coded badges based on length of stay. You can also use the LDAP tools to fetch each employees years of employment. The average is pretty sad and spun as "we are hiring more than ever. our oldest employees left when their stock became worth a ton" But of course the real reason is that Amazon's work environment is basically chock full of shitty middle-managers, many who are adopted from Microsoft or salvaged somehow from better tech companies in the valley. They even have these leadership principles that are basically a bunch of no-brainers that they force down the employees throats at every opportunity. They use them as a criteria for performance reviews, even before actual hard metrics. Shitty middle managers will keep stressing the leadership principles because (1) that's what they are told to do (2) they need to rate their subordinates on them (3) because these principles are qualitative, the only insurance they have is that they spewed them enough to get through. Amazon, to sum it up, is just, shitty employees from other tech companies. And dumb/average intelligence follow-the-pack type drones - many who can hardly speak English and are on work visas..and they put many of these terrible speakers as managers!! (Amazon loves cheap labor, and will use it for ANY position possible) When your leadership principles are sold as prolific and something every employee "should study" (Bezos words') you really can't expect to hire intelligent folk who don't want no-brainer basic business and character traits hamfisted to them as if it is the new work of Plato himself.
