You're forgetting most of the people who join Amazon come from countries like India or a no-name company.
Keeping in mind COL, Loans, Family & Future; $5k/mo at AT&T doesn't make the ends meet. Then they hop on to forever hiring Amazon, even though it comes with heavy baggage.
Amazon TC is already bonkers compared to what they were getting before.
It's easy for blame the toxicity when you join Meta/Google as a new grad and printing money from start but they're not!!
THEY KNOW THE TOXICITY. They know the PIP. But with all the shit going on in their lives it's a way out. This is the story of almost all of the people I've met here. This is the social contract they agree to based on their conditions. I agreed to it because even I came from a no-name company.
Cry a faul about the workload and on-call and all. I've cried myself but I got better opportunities because of AWS. These people don't. You don't even get a FAANG recruiter response if you work with TCS most of the times. For such people, who do not get opportunities, Amazon is cash-flow at the expense of peace.
Is Amazon Toxic and Exploitive?
YES, 1000 times Yes!!
Do I agree/support Amazon practices?
Hell no!!
But I do I understand the contract?
Yes!
Am I in Stockholm Syndrome?
Maybe. but I know for sure; I wouldn't get even a call for my upcoming offer if I was at my previous employer and not at AWS.
So, next time, please be considerate of that Amazon Blinder before shaming them for being at Amazon.
Upcoming TC: $230K
YOE: 1

Blind is just full of people working the other .01%.
At Google the WLB is more consistent across orgs but I still saw entire orgs forced to work weekends for months to meet unrealistic deadlines.
Person 1:- "I started trading with Cathie and got 790000$ returns every month"
Person 2 :- "OMG, I heard about Cathie too and earned similar amount"
Person 3 :- "Okay Imma check her out"
