This was happening even with Software Developers and System Engineers back in ~2005. They go around nickel and diming everything with their employees, topgrading everyone on 360 performance reviews and then have offsites where they tightly clutch their pearls over how they just can't understand why retaining talent is so hard. Unless you're lucky enough to get hired into a group which is highly thought of, it can be a really bad place to work, even if you're getting paid a lot. Someone really needs to buy each of the Amazon executive team one of those "the only consistent feature of all your dissatisfying relationships is you" coffee mugs.

Exactly. I am unemployed (watching kiddos until the pandemic ends and schools open), and I wouldn't even CONSIDER Amazon despite getting dozens of recruitment e-mails from them a year. It's always the same with these companies-- they "can't find enough talent" but the recruiters glad-hand the candidates but the interviews are tough and arbitrary. If you get/take the job-- stacked ranking will burn you out and fire you when you have children, a health problem, family problem etc, or dare age, or stand up for yourself.
