    Amazon HR are some of the most useless motherfuckers I've ever met in my life, I'm convinced they're only ever trained in how to fire people.

      I've heard this is unironically something they ask HR candidates in interviews. How comfortable they are with telling people that they got fired and then handling their offboarding

      Like just in general, not just Amazon

        We really need an emoji of Dale Gribble from that episode of KotH where he gets an office job and all he's good at is firing people

        A friend of mine does interviews for medical doctor candidates and one of the questions they always ask is "how would you tell a deceased patient's family members that their loved one is dead?"

        You would think that it's a pretty hard question to fuck up, but according to my friend, there's been more than one candidate who answered with some sort of meme and immediately got drummed out of the system.

      Oh god they truly are incompetent. All they know how to do is direct you to their live HR chat on the app because they never know the answer to anything. They barely even know their own policies.

        I remember the system eating several hours of PTO and telling them to fix it 3 times before asking if I needed to get a manager involved.

      They're the enforcers of an incredibly formulaic system that constantly whittles away at good teams be removing the "bottom x%" at each review period.

      These "company culture" things are both insidious (pay people less because you're always hiring new grads for those positions) and stupid (making your company less productive for the feeling that you're "managing" them).
