#14This is a Kafka level story, having long dealings with an obviously incompetent and labyrinthine organization, only to be immediately penalized for the slightest miss on his own part. Especially the "if you're not at your workstation in one minute you'll be penalized / where is my workstation / I dont know" bit is straight out of The Castle or something.
Anyway, I agree with his overall feeling on the state of labor now.

#17> In the Earnings Call in July of this year, they said they now employe 950,000 warehouse workers. They're probably over the 1 MM mark right now due to the holidays. Yes, there are plenty of people working there that are overqualified, but that is the beauty of what Amazon is doing. Their onboarding and recruiting for this is incredibly smooth, fast, and will give virtually everyone a chance.
I guess if you hire 500,000 people per year and 99% of people have an excellent onboarding process there will be 5,000 bad stories?

Same. Do SWE/SDE roles also involve drug tests and orientations?
if you used cannabis and got caught, you'll have a police record for up to 5 years
when applying expect it not to be in your favour
