A company that spends resources on making a tool to identify attrition risk rather than treating employees better deserves all the hate, and more.
Normally in a smaller organization, this is the manager's responsibility without a tool.
See how Amazon is 3.2 while others are above 4.0?
Yeah your own employees picked the ratings. So it's not Blind, it's Amazon employees who hate Amazon
One company I was at half my team went to Amazon and the person that left the longest lasted six months before coming back. Every single person shared a varied but cohesive view of what Amazon was like.
I didn’t bust my ass to claw my way off the farm and into tech to get shit on and abused by some smooth talking psychopath that couldn’t do one quarter of what I can do, then pipped and dumped unceremoniously, despite being a top performer in my field for over a decade.
Amazon treats people like shit at every level in the organization and sees it as magnanimous that they don’t make SWEs pee in bottles the same way they do delivery drivers. They love hiring South Indian managers because they want their employees abused. Jeff and his leadership team are the type of people that wish slavery was still legal in the US and masturbate while watching the whipping scene in Roots.
In short, fuck Amazon
His whole team got called into a meeting with some VP level folks where they were told that the release timeline was critical and “to provide an incentive a gift had been left on each person’s desk”.
When he got back to his desk, just like everyone else on his team, there was a “bankers box” on his desk with a sticky note that had the release date written in sharpie. The implication was clear, if they didn’t release on time they’d mass fire the whole team. He and three other people on the team started putting their stuff in the boxes and just walked out.
This was somebody I had worked closely with who was a very high performer. They weren’t going to take that shit, and I added Amazon to my permanent blacklist after hearing the story. Nothing in the news or on Blind has indicated it’s improving, if anything Amazon seems more cut throat and shitty than ever.
