Realistically how long can people do this before they burn out or break down physically? A very good question! I don't know the answer to that. I don't know that Amazon cares about the answer to it, so long as when those workers leave the industry (entirely) they are replaced by others who are similarly capable and only wanting to work for them and not their peers. Really, this is similar to how early-career law works. Young lawyers at top firms have high burnout rates. They take those jobs because they pay insanely well, and they're willing to suffer 18 hour workdays for the money. As they burn out, new ones replace them. Those that make it, make it. I see similar effects in my own workplace, though not quite as extreme. --- And when the hourglass has run out, eternity asks you about only one thing: whether you have lived in despair or not. <cite>Darkman124 posted [p:909816526] in Amazon rai...
