Get As High as $5000 from Amazon.It's real!
Today I bring to you updates from amazon.com as they are on a new tour in their working system but before we go further what is amazon.com?
Amazon.com is a global website where thousands of merchants sell products through Amazon.com, Amazon Marketplace, and their many subsidiary businesses. In addition, there are sister sites in Canada, China,
France,
Germany,Japan, and the UK.
They also offer the following:
- Commission opportunities through the Associates program
- Authors can self-publish through them
- Businesses can advertise on the site
- Merchants can sell products on the site and have Amazon manage the fulfillment by sending them the inventory to ship to the customer.
Amazon.com is a full online retail store center. It allows anyone to buy or sell books, movies, clothes, toys, etc.
The website consists of virtually more products than in probably any Walmart Retail Stores. You can search for any product and instantly you will find out who is selling it and how much it costs. Not only that but Amazon has the best prices in the market on many items.
I have used Amazon for many years now and I have never had any problems with it. It is practically the same thing as eBay except that you don't bid, and they are all new products, unless you click "buy used" Today amazon.com introduces a new system "paid to quit",
If you work for Amazon, that is In the company’s annual letter to shareholders, Amazon chief Jeff Bezos revealed what has to be the most counter-intuitive personnel policy in corporate America today: If an employee isn’t happy working at the online retail giant, they can earn up to $5,000 just for quitting.
Bezos describes it as one of the company’s “better ways to do things internally.” Called Pay To Quit, the program is “pretty simple,” Bezos says. “Once a year, we offer to pay our associates to quit. The first year the offer is made, it’s for $2,000. Then it goes up one thousand dollars a year until it reaches $5,000. The headline on the offer is ‘Please Don’t Take This Offer.’”Pay To Quit started at Amazon-owned Zappos, and the parent company adopted the concept for its fulfillment centers.
On one hand, it sounds backwards. Companies pay their employees to work, not to quit. Then again, this is a company that isn’t afraid to flirt with wacky ideas like delivering merchandise via unmanned drone aircraft.
In a Harvard Business Review blog post-examining this practice at Zappos back in 2008, author and Fast Company co-founder Bill Taylor says the quit money (it was $1,000 per employee back then) worked out costing less than the online shoe retailer would have lost if unmotivated employees put the brakes on its fast-paced corporate culture. “Zappos wants to learn if there’s a bad fit between what makes the organization tick and what makes individual employees tick–and it’s willing to pay to learn sooner rather than later,” Taylor says.
In Amazon’s case, the aim is the same. “The goal is to encourage folks to take a moment and think about what they really want,” Bezos explains. “In the long-run, an employee staying somewhere they don’t want to be isn’t healthy for the employee or the company.”
I must say this is so ridiculous and pretty amazing all together its so disgusting' perhaps its a good measure to maintain integrity and keep the standard of the company on high climax whats your say on this newly adopted program @ amazon.com paid to Quit'?
