"...the retail giant has pledged to become the Earth's Best Employer, not just for frontline warehouse workers but for corporate and technical employees, too..."*

* As long as it doesn't interfere with the share price and exec bonuses

Barely a day goes by without a story about how badly Amazon treats it's non-tech workers. Combine that with the stack ranking and, like you, I'm not convinced.

I would argue you can't fix the tech employment without fixing the rest. One bleeds into the other. I would never consider working for a company that can't treat it's more replaceable employees well.

Are they still doing stack ranking and hire-to-fire?
