Even more info on Amazon’s attrition problem.

Last year, only a third of Amazon’s new hires stayed with the company for more than 90 days before quitting, being fired, or getting laid off

The report, which is based off internal research papers, slide decks, and spreadsheets from Amazon, claims that workers are twice as likely to leave by choice, rather than because they were laid off or fired. It also says that the issue is widespread throughout the company, not just with warehouse workers; from entry level roles all the way up to vice presidents, the lowest attrition rate for one of the company’s 10 tiers of employees was almost 70 percent, with the highest reaching a staggering 81.3 percent.

      I think of billionaires more as "Utilitarian Demons" than Rocko's basilisks. The basilisk is vengeful and wants everyone opposed to it to suffer and die. Bezos and his group simply don't care if the poor live or die, unless it directly affects their wealth, making them less terrifying but more insidious - a banal evil.
