[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not a snarky question, but was it weird knowing you were working there out of curiousity and others out of necessity?[/quote]
Yes and no. I didn’t feel like I took away a position from someone because amazon had something like 60 positions open when I applied. All you do is fill out your personal info, select a shift and get a cheek swab drug test. 3 days later I was working. You don’t need to interview or have any prior experience. They also have huge turnover and their response is to just bring in more new people. For example 15 new people entered the same day I did and by week 2 10 of them quit. One quit in the middle of training and cried because he said he couldn’t take hard physical labor anymore and wanted to be valued for more than his body. That was heartbreaking to watch. Even the trainer admitted Amazon does not care and that when one person walks out they’ll just line up a new person.  To quit all you need to do is hit a resign button on their employee app. You don’t have to give an explanation or talk to HR. Amazon is very much a cold machine. [/quote]
