Well that puts a new and disheartening spin on having gotten an offer from Amazon :-(

  Maybe you can make a deal with the hiring manager. If he'll admit that you're the sacrificial lamb, you'll alleviate his guilt by lining an alternative job up for the date he has to fire someone. Win, win, lose. (Amazon loses.)

    Yup. Definately ways of benefiting from this. And usually you get a decent severance so if they fire you after a year, you can basically learn cool stuff on the job, only do a little work, and then get a nice paid vacation afterwards.
