This is a poor article. The article begins by claiming a "stressed out" culture is resulting in the factually low employee retention rate, but then goes on cite as evidence things like: no free cafeteria, average pay, and emails that report up the management chain, and that the CEO has a weird laugh. Of all the "evidence" listed, only the team darwinism and searing insults would contribute to a stressful environment. The rest are just random factoids of average employers.

I don't know if Amazon is stressful to work for, because I've never worked there and haven't talked to any friends about it in detail, and this article did not help at all to shed any light on that.
