The chart has the useful footnote that it, "does not account for overall growth in workforce" which penalizes companies with quickly growing headcounts. I'd also guess Amazon's warehouse staff has more churn that a technology company and they are a large portion of the overall workforce there.

We have a fair number of ex-Amazonians at work and they all complain about the work culture there, so I do believe it may well be that bad.

I have very little insight into the matter. Just noting some limitations and biases in the data presented. Former employees are probably biased sources of data, too.

Anyway, I've heard it's a tough place to work, but some people thrive on it... nothing beyond what's in the Businessweek article.
