So naive are the educated elite until it happens to them

This is always the case in any large company.  You must protect yourself - no one else will.[/quote]

Average tenure is 2 years

What a great company to work for[/quote]

It is if you're upper management.  You burn and churn, extracting maximum productivity and utility from your employees.  That's the Amazon culture and explains why it has been so successful - starting almost 20 years ago from a simple online bookstore in 1999.  Don't be so surprised - many so-called great companies started this way too.  Look at Microsoft, Oracle, IBM, etc....  They all grew very quickly and success as an employee was based on merit/productivity.  Average and under performers were not retained.  If you're looking to pull a 9-5 shift and go home, Amazon and other companies like it aren't for you.

The game where you work your life away to line someone else’s pockets? A sucker is truly born every minute.[/quote]
