Why did you leave your job at Amazon.com?

48 answers

  • Got treated badly. Expected to know and work quickly after a few days. Uniform is demoralising.

  • Because the job isn’t worth the money. You’re massively overworked with unrealistic expectations around targets. Break times are shocking and you’re on your feet for 10 hours a day. People only work up if they’re pally with managers and there is zero job security. If I could have my time again I’d stay well clear and not contribute to a company who don’t value their staff.

  • I lost my job at Amazon due to a Amazon HR member of staff trying to exit through an entrance channel set up for covid.apparently Amazon HR staff are immune from covid and do not spread it so they don't have to adhere to their own rules.
    After informing the individual that this was an entrance and not an exit said individual took offence and began on his recently acquired power trip.

    Unfortunately at this point I told him that he should learn to read you f*****g nob head.

    After working for the next two hours I was removed from site and sacked for using foul language,being loud and threatening.

    I'm quite shocked that I wasn't sacked sooner when I requested bereavement leave and was told that I couldn't have time off after my father died of cancer, because my reaction was much harsher with more expletives.
