>> What's going on at Amazon?
Amazon is customer-centric, but employee-abusive. They use employees like disposable paper products and always need more.
>> They are needing to hire SWEs this bad?
Yes. They have natural attrition due to employee burn out and an "unregretted attrition" quota where they fire 6% of their employees [1].
>> Is this new?
No.
>> Have they always operated like this?
Yes, for quite some time.
