There are some odd policies here. There's the crazy non-compete clause (if those are allowed, the former company should pay for however long the clause lasts).

There are some odd policies here. There's the crazy non-compete clause (if those are allowed, the former company should pay for however long the clause lasts). Then there's the "Performance Improvement Plan." I don't really understand the purpose of preventing transfers. If an employee truly needs improvement, how does preventing transfers have anything to do with that? Based off other former employee anecdotes, Amazon is starting to sound like the Walmart of the internet.

"I don't really understand the purpose of preventing transfers." Managers look like complete shit if an employee leaves. They are judged based on their ability to control and have power over people. You have to understand, some companies have devolved so far that they behave like criminal gangs. If one drug dealer leaves his boss and goes to another boss what does that tell all the other drug dealers about the first boss?
