A senior employee at Amazon apparently took advantage of the working conditions to get the maximum salary for as little work as possible. After being fired from Google, he moved to Amazon. From there, he reports how little he did for the company and how he was paid almost 330,000 euros.

How little did the employee achieve? The employee is said to have started working at Amazon as a Senior Technical Program Manager around 1.5 years ago, and it seems that his tactics have not been discovered yet. He applied to Amazon with the intention of “doing nothing” and getting paid until he was caught and fired (via X).

  • His current daily routine would consist of turning down other teams that want to integrate into his team. Alternatively, he would leave 95 percent of the integration work to them.
  • According to his own statement, he only works eight hours a week. He spends most of his time in meetings.
  • He has 0 Kingpin Goals, which is the system Amazon uses to set goals for its employees.
  • In the 1.5 years he probably only processed seven tickets that came to him.
  • He claims that it took him only three days to create an automated dashboard with the help of ChatGPT. However, he told Amazon that he had invested three months in the project.

    • For all the “work” he did in the 1.5 years, he is said to have received a proud salary of the equivalent of 330,706 euros in his senior position. The post has since been deleted (via teamblind.com).

    Amazon is not only known for its department store, but also for its films and series:

    Divided opinion on exploitation of working conditions

    What do other users think about it? In the comments, there are several users who think this behavior is OK. X-user Olua_AO writes that people who work only two hours a day and are paid for eight (which gives them enough time for their personal life) are the winners in life.

    DracoThinks thinks that if the game is “rigged,” one should “exploit the exploit.” He therefore supports what the employee revealed to the public. The senior manager would at least not be the only one to exploit it, as many employees use a trick to work from home as much as possible.

    However, there are also some voices that do not approve of the behavior. User HapiiHD writes that people like the employee in the following example are the reason why such mass layoffs are taking place in the first place. They are also paid far too well.

    User TheMonkDev adds that such people would put down the work of honest employees who just want to work and earn money.

    The corporate giant also has to lay off several employees. Amazon laid off numerous employees in its games department last year because the company wanted to restructure: Amazon Games lays off more than 180 employees – how does this affect the MMORPGs?
