Amazon Employee jumped off 12 story building in a failed sucide attempt

Cousin just got a job at Amazon as a software development engineer. He tells me it's not the worst place in the world, but his other interviews with other companies definitely had a better presentation.
 
I've known multiple people that worked at a warehouse,all quit or fired within a month...Hear it's straight up Hell on Earth.
 
My cousin works at Amazon in their data centers. She loves it because she gets to travel around the world on Amazon's money.

Amazon has always seemed "too good to be true".
Only use it for reviews, comparing prices and the free prime promos.

My colleague's cousin work does Marketing for Amazon and travels often too. Never would I think that Amazon is a **** place to work.
 
I've read that Amazon monitors your every movement with RFID chips in their employee id cards in order to eliminate and deter any slacking and improve efficiency.

This is what Amazon has become:

http://www.cnbc.com/2016/07/08/amazons-chinese-counterfeit-problem-is-getting-worse.html

Some cliffs:

- But longtime Amazon sellers like Jamie Whaley are in no mood to celebrate.

A licensed nurse, Whaley started a bedding business on Amazon that reached $700,000 in annual sales within three years. Her patented product called BedBand consists of a set of shock cords, clamps and locks designed to keep fitted bed sheets in place.

Whaley and her husband found quite an audience, selling up to 200 units a day for $13.99 a set. BedBand climbed into the top 200 selling products in the home and kitchen category. That was 2013.

By mid-2015, the business was in a tailspin. Revenue plummeted by half and Whaley was forced to lay off eight employees. Her sheet fastener had been copied by a legion of mostly Chinese knockoffs that undercut BedBand on price and jumped the seller ranks by obtaining scores of reviews that watchdog site Fakespot.com determined were inauthentic and "harmful for real consumers."


- In May, CNBC.com reported on a Facebook group, now consisting of over 600 people, whose members have seen their designs for t-shirts, coffee mugs and iPhone cases show up on Amazon at a fraction of the price of the originals. The designers described it as a game of whack-a-mole, where fakes pop up more quickly than they're taken down.


- Sales from Chinese-based sellers more than doubled in 2015 on Amazon's marketplaces, while the company's total revenue increased 20 percent. And recently, Amazon even registered with the Federal Maritime Commission to provide ocean freight, simplifying the process for Chinese companies to ship goods directly to Amazon fulfillment centers, cutting out costs and inefficiencies.

That's why you can get a box full of Chinese kitchen goods from a variety of sellers delivered in two days from a warehouse in Kentucky.


- To unsuspecting consumers, fake products can appear legitimate because of the Fulfillment by Amazon program, which lets manufacturers send their goods to Amazon's fulfillment centers and hand over a bigger commission, gaining the stamp of approval that comes with an FBA tag.

Furthermore, Amazon's commingled inventory option bundles together products from different sellers, meaning that a counterfeit jacket could be sent to an Amazon facility by one merchant and actually sold by another.

I never researched, but does china have zero copyright laws or something? Literally shocked nobody as squaded up and got at China.
 
China literally built towns to resemble famous places like Paris and Times Square, don't think copyrighting exists over there, damns either :lol:

Every time I see people I presume are Chinese taking pictures of buildings, I can't help but think they sending em back home to get replicated

The corporate Amazon is mad demanding when it comes to employee performance. They have their own method whereby expectations are super high and getting fired is easy. Managers have a huge say in your performance rating (i think peers too). Easy to get put in a bad place and removed, if they say you are slacking regardless of the project you have. They have remedial programs which essentially let you know you are on your last life line and being fired is imminent :lol:

The warehouse Amazon is also very demanding, everything those employees are doing is timed to the minor detail to get the maximum amount from an individual. Managers on top of everyone, micro managing. Very hard. They also go through full Airport TSA type security in the warehouses. When they clock in, sometimes taking about to an hour or two to get cleared. They do not get paid for this btw (they are hourly). The crazy security is for theft, they legitimately don't trust the employees.

I was reached out to for an Amazon Warehouse manager over the summer. Didn't have a good feeling and turned down the offer though. Looks like that was the right decision.
