Tales of surveillance, rigid time-keeping and how the long hours destroy people’s enjoyment of the job are all true, it appears, as well as the company’s penchant for hiring army vets, and why… “In my opinion, Amazon is preying on the work-life balance issue that the military has, and feeds off the rigid order the army teaches.
