- tablespoon 5y ago> Amazon has to be at the point of literally running out of nearby human beings to be concerned about retention. It seems like they're more than willing to hire imports. I get more recruiter spam from them than anyone else, and I don't live anywhere near any of their major offices.
- MattGaiser 5y agoThis is true as well. I got an email offering me immigration support to move to Vancouver. I already live in Canada, have my entire life, and every job has also been in Canada.

- cwkoss 5y agoI read a stat that 1 out of ~154 Americans currently works for amazon.
- cipheredStones 5y agoAmerican workers, not Americans overall - it's still astonishing, but they have a bit less than a million US employees rather than 330M/154 = 2.1M employees.

- mywittyname 5y agoWorkers are workers to management. Regardless of whether you pick up keyboards or press them.
- seebs 5y agoIt may be, but you may rest assured that when a recruiter asks me whether I'd like to work for Amazon, how they treat warehouse employees is going to be a factor in my answer. I've never been confident of the viability of "it's fine, they only hate other people" as a social strategy.
- MattGaiser 5y agoNot like Amazon exactly has a good reputation for treating tech workers well either.
