Just to give a minor counter point, I've been at Amazon for 5 years. In that time, I've been in two different orgs and 4 different teams. All in Seattle. I'm yet to see people crying at their desks. The trick to happiness at Amazon is staying the hell away from anything tier 1 -- or, hell, just anything with direct lines to external customers. Those "9s" we give are delivered on the backs of engineers. I'd for sure break down and cry too if I was getting paged 50 times per week because the response time of some subsystem went outside SLA by 5ms. Chill org, chill life.
