I used to live near a large Zappos, then both Zappos/AMZ warehouse, in poor area where it was a decent job.
The local forums were full of people complaining they were fired for silly reasons right before their 3 month mark, when they'd become permanent and get benefits. This was oh, about a decade ago.
Now they're sounding the alarm because the employees are just quitting instead? I have a really hard time feeling sorry for Amazon, here....
I think this is a good point and maybe raises a question - are they really quitting or e.g. are being bullied to quit. I have no doubt some part of "quitters" would be exactly that - people "asked to quit".
It seems like you hear stories just like this from every company who hires from temp workers who have to put in months/weeks before they are 'hired in'.
