Upgrading skillset
I did not come here with the intention of staying. My idea was to stay just long enough to gain experience that will help me find something better. However, I’m not happy with how much I’ve managed to learn here so far. How did you expand your... — read more

If so, to what extent?
Is there a new yearly evaluation system for managers? (Coaches/TL?)
Regardless - how does it work? What are the categories, what do they actually mean/benefit and is there a quota system?
This is driving me insane

Amazon shareholders want investigation into treatment of their employees
As long as the Walnuts remain majority shareholders I don't look for us to see a similar outpouring of concern for the workers here. All Alice and the gang care about is another yacht, private jet, or mansion. We need a union. Period.
