[quote=Anonymous]I am a smidge surprised that people went to work for Amazon and are surprised to discover the company's policies are not particularly worker-friendly or conducive to work-life balance, or that the company maybe sold them a bill of goods to get them in the door but is rapidly leveraging their position over employees in ways that are not very desirable for workers.

I get it, I'd be annoyed by all this too. But was there no point when taking a job with Amazon where you thought, "huh, what do I know about this company? what's their approach to employment, worker's rights, corporate responsibility, etc.?" Did it give you pause at all? This feels very predictable to me.

I'd also be curious to know how many of you have worked for large public companies before. Not to be cynical, but in some ways this sort of thing is inevitable in these jobs. It's a major reason people bounce around a bit, because things are good until they aren't, even very successful companies will do weird re-orgs, change policies or culture, sometimes with frequency, because of the desire to always be responsive to "shareholder concerns."[/quote]
