      At least you’ve proposed a possible reason that would make sense in some companies.

      However, Amazon has routinely burnt out employees and hired replacements. Loyalty doesn’t seem to be rewarded at Amazon, so I don’t know why they would institute a loyalty test now.

        It’s like the old saying about how fascists cannibalize themselves, even if Amazon leadership hasn’t shown that they value loyalty it’s probably still a very sought after trait among their employees since the loyal ones grumble the least, true believers are always the biggest enablers in cults, and HR operates very similar the part of cult leadership that maintains cult discipline and beliefs, they’re the corporate true believers, and loyalty is always the most sought after trait in cultists.

        But hey it’s just a theory, I don’t work for Amazon and I doubt I ever would, but I do know quite a few people who do and from their stories they make it sound very similar to places like Walmart in terms of culture and not giving a fuck about their employees.

          Yeah, but at least your theory makes more sense than people saying that Amazon executives feel the need to fill office space due to “reasons”.

        They don’t reward loyalty. They profit from it. Their greed is catching on to them though. They have mostly gone through all the available workers for warehouses and they know they are running out of people willing to give them a chance. Most people know it’s a shit place for engineers as well.
