That’s true, but Amazon pays above the national average, which itself desperately needs to rise.

This is a stronger indictment of the national work landscape than a boon for Amazon, who has a over 100% turnover rate…

how can you have a turnover rate over 100%?

It’s a turnover rate over time. If everyone quit and had to be replaced in a day you’d be at 100%. Anything after that is over 100% for the year.

I’ve seen rates of 150% bandied around for Amazon. That means replacing 12.5% of your total headcount on average monthly.

Turnover rates are usually described annually. If a company has to replace it’s whole staff twice in a year, that’s a 200% annual turnover rate.

Again, I agree.

I’m not an executive, if I could raise the national average for all of us believe me I would.

Amazon pays pretty decently but it’s just god awful work. I worked in a warehouse briefly and made more than I had anywhere else entry level, but sorting boxes for 9 hours straight on night shifts isn’t worth it

It wasn’t obvious as “Amazon” has a lot of jobs and these drivers aren’t even employed by Amazon in the first place.
