Well, that's the thing: the folks running the centre I worked for were very much human, and really quite understanding of regular everyday human things. I think, though, that the Edinburgh culture was very influenced by the centre being started by a guy who wanted to move to Scotland to start a family - it's been explicitly family-friendly from the start, with people being encouraged to keep a good work-life balance rather than working more and more hours.
From what I heard that wasn't the case in the rest of Amazon, which always made me feel a bit icky about working from said megacorp - along with all the other dubiously moral stuff. I'm rather a lot happier being out of there, I must say.

But there's no room for common sense or human decencies in the policies and the legalities, and when you sign on the dotted line, as far as Amazon is concerned you have signed away your soul. A court might disagree, but what's that to the individual who can't afford to keep a prestigious law firm on retainer?
