It's even cheaper for the company to not provide them. Case in point: Amazon's paltry benefits.

Until you factor in employee turnover costs... Amazon spends an enormous number of man-hours and resources recruiting to backfill and has thousands of open job listings un-filled. It would be difficult to argue that they are saving money at the end of the day by crimping benefits and salary at the expense of employee loyalty.

Yes. Amazon has, by far, the highest turnover amongst tech companies. [0]
