I could have worded that better. The people I know who have worked at amazon have described miserable conditions, but great pay. They stayed (for a while) because the money was so good. So what would happen to amazon if the money stopped being so good?

I think a question to ask in the same vain would be: What would they do, if due to economic changes other companies are suddenly willing to match the money with better working conditions?

Isn't that what Meta is trying to do? They claim to pay in the top 5% of salary and talk a ton about how much better it is to work there compared to Amazon. There seems to be a ton of Amazon folks moving over there all the time.

I think every company talks about how much better it is to work there compared to Amazon.

The sample is obviously very biased, since I mostly hear from people who left, but after listening to ex-employees talk about being there, I'm inclined to believe them.

It’s the same calculus most people do - pay/bullshit ratio. When that starts going in the wrong direction , it’s time to jump ship.

As far as AMZN, it’s down to $2850. The same as it was in May 2020 when I got hired.

What is bullshit measured in? Displeasing incidents per year?

Thus 1 incident per 3 or 4 days = $285,000?

Literally nothing would change if they were to cut wages, the n-1 lower rung talent would go there and top talent would go elsewhere.
