Amazon is deadset on abusing their workers as much as possible to make a buck.

Wether its the intern turning a spec into code, then getting verbally lashed for 3 hours for not "being creative", or demanding 50+ hour weeks out of engineers on Amazon's Payments team.

No one should be so scared that they work an extra 12hrs on Saturday and another 6 on Sunday, but that seems to be SOP for certain employees in some departments of Amazon :c

Yeah I need to find a new team or company. I just did a 12 hour day, while sick. Never ending deadlines and high turnover... to be fair, my team used to be really fun. Things just changed.

Not things. Management or "vision".. bleh

If you are around my age (25 - 30) this is the only time in your working life unemployment was at a level that is in your favor. Use that leverage and use it fast.

Yeah actually. Both those changed. For the worse.
