> What is the job worth? Total profit divided by the number of employees?

• chrischen 5y ago
  That’s a very generous way to calculate it, but that is not market rate.
  • falcolas 5y ago
    Of course it's not the market rate... it's generous after all.
• lupire 5y ago
  what about contractors and vendors?
• BeetleB 5y ago
  So, everyone gets paid the same?
  • enriquto 5y ago
    It's just an approximation, which should be correct up to an order of magnitude. I guess it's alright if there's a factor of 5 between the highest and lowest paid employees.

      Rather it's in average 351-to-1 (in 2020) as the highest paid employee would be the CEO.

  So most jobs at Amazon were worth nothing for many years?
  • enriquto 5y ago
    No. People who worked there then and left are being robbed today of the fruit of their work.
