That's right. I got hired in April 2021 and by the time I quit in August 2022, more than 50% of employees were newer than me (they have a tool called oldfart, where you can check your seniority).
- HarryHirsch 4y agoIt's a turnover like you have in fast food. How can anyone be productive in such an environment?
- count 4y agoThe majority of those million+ workers are working jobs as an option against fast food. Productive is 'pick thing out of bin, place in box', not creativity/etc. Don't confuse the relatively tiny tech company wrapped inside the worlds largest logistics and fulfillment organization.
- HarryHirsch 4y agoIt looked as if the poster was in the tech arm, not the logistics arm of the company. Low-level jobs are scripted everywhere, fast food or not.
- shepherdjerred 4y agoThe oldfart tool shows your seniority across the entire company, not just at your role.
- notyourwork 4y agoEh, it's misleading because it is not all tech. Drivers, warehouse, EAs, etc. Most tech companies are heavily dominated by tech employees, Amazon is different in that regard and given the pandemic saw a surge in demand for shipping, it seems entirely tenable for the company to grow so expediently.
