Those terms are insane.
- notyourwork 10y agoCompared to what?
- onion2k 10y agoThey make it clear that Amazon prefer employees who'll stay there for a while because employees only become value after a couple of years, or if you're feeling less generous, Amazon know that they'll extract all the value from someone in under a year before they're driven out. Either way the terms aren't insane; they're just very much weighted to the employer's beliefs.
- wiz21c 10y agoBy insane, I guess the OP was thinking "not moral"... >>> they're just very much weighted to the employer's beliefs That's no excuse. Hitting someone weaker than you is not "very much weighted to your beliefs".
- tedmiston 10y agoA more precise word choice to convey my intent would have been "outrageous".
- tedmiston 10y agoYou're right. I should have finished that thought with "compared to a standard 1-year cliff and 25% per year". In any case, dragging relocation out over two years feels wrong to me given that relocation is binary. I suppose in effect they are using it as a way to attach strings to a signing bonus.
