Some Amazon managers say they 'hire to fire' people just to meet the internal turnover goal every year

It depends on what service or product you're working with and who is your manager and your team. I remember in 2017 after I was hired they let go all these long term employees, good employees. It really affected morale company wide. The growth mindset was used like weapon against everything you did, no matter how good you did. And there were double standards. meaning the rules, policy not being applied equally to everyone. At the level I was at, it was ultra competitive, cutthroat between employees, maybe desperate to keep their jobs. But I did see good teams and their were some brilliant people I was able to work with and always thought to myself why can't I be on a team like that. Then a year or so after I left, Microsoft complained they didn't have enough skilled employees. It was really I think just to make a case for outsourcing and it shows, their level of service and knowledge, quality of work and the platform has went down hill, now dealing with them on the customer side. Very bitter sweet experience for me, but I'm still a Microsoft guy and hopefully it's better now.
