Amazon had tons of quiet quitters. We probably could have coined the term. 1/4 to 1/3 of the engineering teams checked out during COVID. They operate in klo mode, keep the lights on. Leetcoding doesn’t make you an effective hire. Plenty of leetcode geniuses who landed a job but can’t solve problems and either can’t do the work or just don’t want to. Maybe 1/3rd are still active and faking it and last third are moving things forward. I left last year, and it was a very political place. Management quality also regressed. One team I worked with were all former IBM employees who came to manage at Amazon. They quiet quit on Day 1.
