    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…

        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’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.

            I’m not great with math so please let me know if I’m understanding this right:

            1. Company has 100 employees
            2. All 100 employees quit
            3. Company gets 100 new employees as replacement

            = 100% turnover rate

            Then…

            1. Company has the 100 new employees
            2. 50 of the new employees quit
            3. Company gets 50 new employees as replacement

            = 150% turnover rate

            and so on?

        Again, I agree.

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