Amazon's mentality is pretty clever I think. The entire company is designed to repeatedly test all its employees till failure by piling on the workload until they say uncle, then backing off 20% if they push-back. It's a crazy approach that probably falls apart if you're unsuccessful. But they're very successful so they can just keep burning money to attract new hires. Also, I imagine it's a huge career builder if you work in FMCG or development to have "Amazon retail" or "Amazon Web Services" on your resume. Since everyone uses those platforms. I imagine what is left at the end is a residue of "born again" workaholics, who're probably pretty great at their jobs. Who then ascend to and form middle management. And the global express trundles on, powered by these workaholics.
