    Going to such extreme is probably costing the company on a medium/long term.

    It may improve productivity for the first few weeks, but this is bad for employees physical and mental well-being. This is obviously increasing injuries and burnout. Meaning more sick leave, worse employee turnover.

        Amazon has incredibly high turnover. They’re starting to worry that they’re burning through everyone who is willing to work for them.
