An employee claiming to work in Amazon made such a revelation, after which there was a stir. Actually, the person wrote that he has been working in the company for the last one and a half years and during this time he has not done any meaningful work. His salary is also more than three crore rupees. This confession of the person on the anonymous social media forum Blind has now gone viral. He has come to work in Amazon after being laid off in Google.
In his post, the man said that he works as a senior technical program manager at Amazon and gets paid around $370,000 (more than Rs 3 crore) for doing ‘nothing’. A user shared the post on X, in which the man wrote, “I joined Amazon 1.5 years ago after I was laid off from Google. I joined with the intention of doing ‘nothing’, getting free money and joining PIP.”
The employee further wrote in his post on the Blind platform that during his tenure, he has resolved only seven tickets and created a single automated dashboard, which took him three months to create, while in reality it was created in just three days using the Artificial Intelligence (AI) chatbot ChatGPT, but I told that it took a total of three months.
The employee also said that most of his eight hours in the office are spent attending meetings. Let us tell you that Blind is a social media platform where verified professionals can discuss work-related matters. He further wrote that I have not been informed about any possible PIP, how long will I be able to stay here? Users have made various comments on this. One has written that this is like my dream job.
Meanwhile, an ‘X’ user wrote, “These people are creating problems for all those who actually want to work and earn honestly by working all day.” Another user said that people who link their self-esteem and purpose to their corporate job are completely wrong. A person who works 2 hours a day, gets 8 hours salary and takes out that much time for his personal life, family and hobbies is winning in life.
