I think tech workers at Amazon are closer to the Sears workers than fulfillment center folks are. My friends working at Amazon as tech workers are making money hand over fist right now. 100+ stocks each grant. On the flipside, Amazon has a "projected total comp" which they keep you at, and if you're over projected, they don't give you more which is fucked. Google gives you 80k in stock and doesn't tie your future say to it.

It's not just Amazon, techies at most tech companies get generous stock grants as there is a considerable talent war going on. Even non major players like Priceline group now give equity.

If you ask I bet the cost of living and workload expectations makes that compensation feel a lot less than it is.
