I mean one of these leadership principles is 'Strive to be Earth’s Best Employer', but at the same time they have attrition targets, that means there must be some zeroth law at amazon, that mandates some sort of catch... (a nagging suspicion is that all FAANGs are like that, maybe they drive themselves to be ruthless, in order to stay ahead of the pack)
references to attrition targets at amazon:

- 2c2c2c 5y agoleadership principles for amazon are just a bulleted list of qualities they want candidates to say they have. it's overly emphasized to look for these during hiring rounds. people prep answers to align with them, as it is the easiest route to get into faang i think most of the answers here have some bad faith interpretation of the listing. i disagree. there's been small scale research about shorter work weeks not impacting productivity. there's a good chance that research is bs. they probably want to run an experiment in-house using their own dev productivity metrics.
