Given how Amazon treats people and is well known for grinding people into the ground, is there really a big stigma from getting fired from Amazon?

Heck, the whole hire to fire thing gives a person excellent cover beyond that provided by return to the office.

Before the 2008 crash I already knew 2 different individuals who lasted 2 weeks at Amazon. The 3 month contract I did there was the longest 3 months of my adult life, and I now understand why Amazon employees have a bad reputation in Seattle for walking 3-4 abreast on the sidewalk and not noticing people coming the other way.

It's not arrogance, it's PTSD.
