  I accepted a position at Amazon as a finance director for one of their many divisions, and it was hands down the most toxic work environment I have ever experienced-- and I’ve worked in public accounting for other a decade, so that’s saying something.

  I resigned within a couple weeks and found myself a much better job elsewhere.

    This matches every account I’ve heard from friends in Seattle that have worked for the HQ.

      Precisely where I was.

      I was the third finance director for that division in two years, which is a terrible sign.

      When interviewing, always ask about those who last filled the position and for how long.

    Not your business, so you’re getting annoyed, which means the problem is with you…

      If a company’s culture causes a high turnover rate, that is a company problem.

  I’d argue most people just aren’t parasitic enough to willingly exploit both their sellers, workers and customers in the scale of how Amazon did and still does.

  if you ever been a manager, admin or even a developer, you wouldnt be saying that. they are worked to being burnt out comparatively to other tech companies.

  I would dream of coming up with a solution to existence of such monopolies, which is not exactly the same.

  In any case, no. I suppose you are simply incapable of understanding it, but no, not everyone wants to be the biggest turd in the room. There are people who want there to not be turds in human habitats outside of intended compartments and environments.
