It’s not. It is a churn and burn but and some last longer than three years. It’s like every where. The team and supervisor makes the difference. When it was wfh longer hours were much more doable. Jazzy. A work those hours as he has tons of help and not raising his kids or having much of a marriage. The makes a fortune. Most in Amazon don’t.

He needs to pay employees what he's earning so they can hire full-time nannies, housekeepers, drivers, etc. to allow for it to happen.

They need to pay a lot more for that. I suspect people are less productive given they are RTO and commute times.

Exactly. That work schedule makes subsistence agriculture and going back to the land look awesome.

That's a 16 hour work day 7 days a week.

Translation: We are cheap bastards, we want to dramatically reduce personnel costs, in order to make up for the shortfall we want our existing employees to work 15 hour days, seven days a week.

Don’t these people feel any shame when they spew such nonsense?? Do they really think that everyone else is dumb and can be fed any drivel? I would rather live on a farm with meager earnings than to sign away my life for slave labor at Amazon.

Jassy also urged employees to "move fast and act like owners," acknowledging the intense competition Amazon faces from "the most technically able, most hungry" companies, including startups "working seven days a week, 15 hours a day."

"What would I do if this was my company? And by the way, it is your company. This is all of our company," Jassy told staff, encouraging them to maintain awareness of both internal goals and external innovations.
"

Act like owners but don't get paid like owners It's all of our company, but I and the shareholders will keep most of its profits paying you just to keep coming to work. Lets see how well this goes for Amazon, eventually they'll run out of fools

My spouse basically does that but he makes la lot of money for it. Most people wouldn’t live that way.

Creature of habit? Extreme OCD.

Im good at doing a lot with a little, but this is insanity. The broligarchy will be the start of our dystopic future.
