Not saying it’s sustainable (it isn’t), but Amazon has an insanely high turnover rate, partially because new employees bring a fresh perspective and new ideas. It brings new energy and creativity.
Ofc Amazon achieves that turnover rate by treating people like shit and sooner or later they’ll run out of new people.
Amazon has high turnover because their strategy is to burn through new graduates (the cheapest dev labor) before they get sick of the poor working conditions. This is identical to their warehouse employment strategy.
Yeah, that sounds significantly more likely.
