  Exactly my first thought. Here in Germany Amazon gets negative press for their employment conditions, too. How does that fit together? Differences between countries? Just biased press?

    This would obviate amazon of paying unemployment & health insurance. So, at one level its a dollars and cents decision. So, if you have x% voluntary turnover and it cuts in half the number of people that they need to "let go" involuntarily, the ROI on the strategy is likely breakeven. And it would seem that from a morale perspective, everyone is better off. The managers can probably still goove good word about the employees etc because the conflict is probably easied and both sides save face.
