I think they mean making people's lives miserable enough that they quit. Presumably they can live with whatever Amazon throws at them, and keep taking a paycheck until fired.



> making people's lives miserable enough that they quit.

I am genuinely at awe at how out of touch people seem to be. We're talking about software engineers given nothing to do and paid hundreds of thousands of dollars... Yes this is not ideal but let's not act that they're torturing these people or forcing them to clean bathrooms or something.


You seem to be unaware of the mental and physical health toll these environments can take on people. Make money but become a burnt out, desiccated shell of a person.
