I too am very interested in this. Netflix and Amazon both seem to be amazing companies to work for - if you're in the right class/caste/level of employment. If you're a developer or similar working for corporate, it sounds great. If you're working in the factory-like fulfillment warehouses, it sounds less great. There are few stories I've heard of the companies applying equal policies to both. I've heard of even fewer stories of people moving between the two classes of employees- or of the companies creating opportunities for them to do so. But moreso, instead of demonizing the companies for any practices on their hourly employees- I'm curious to know if its possible to apply these forward-thinking policies to 'unskilled labor' or hourly workers from an organizational perspective. Or are these types of policies only workable for certain types of jobs? Have there been any large (and recent) experiments done with applying this type of management to hourly employees?
