Stress for Success? The Amazon Way

Saturday’s New York Times features Amazon’s recipe for success: stress your employees. Quote: “They are told to forget the ‘poor habits’ they learned at previous jobs, one employee recalled. When they ‘hit the wall’ from the unrelenting pace, there is only one solution: ‘Climb the wall,’ others reported.” Another quote: “The internal phone directory instructs colleagues on how to send secret feedback to one another’s bosses. Employees say it is frequently used to sabotage others. (The tool offers sample texts, including this: ‘I felt concerned about his inflexibility and openly complaining about minor tasks.’)” Thanks to a family member for this great employment news tip.
