Amazon’s got this system for ratcheting up pressure on new hires and then rapidly firing everyone who misses a quota. As a result, they’ll often churn through an entire town’s workforce looking for people they haven’t hired and fired in rapid succession. This leads them to hire you, fire you, and then call you back up to see if they can get you to take your old job back… and then fire you again, and then call you back again, and then remember who you are and blacklist you but then need to fill quota and try to hire you again.
This is modern corporate AI. Six different Rube Goldberg Devices operating in a tangle, while individual workers have no clue whether they’ll be employed tomorrow.
