I would imagine this is more geared toward warehouse employees. Anecdotal but a friend who works for AMZN (warehouse), who during his first 6 months thought it was pretty good gig has soured on the company. They have some metric (time off task) where bathroom breaks and things like that can easily get you fired. A simple bout of diarrhea that causes you to spend some extra time in the bathroom is enough to warrant termination. He says that it is basically modern day slavery and people are worked like machines. There are two people he recognizes that are still there after a year, everyone else has left. It would be interesting to learn what the turn over rate is for AMZN (warehouse work). Probably quite high I would imagine. One interesting thing he did say is there is still a huge want to Unionize at their level and it's going to happen sooner or later.
