On Monday mornings, fresh recruits line up for an orientation intended to catapult them into Amazon’s singular way of working.
They
are told to forget the “poor habits” they learned at previous jobs, one
employee recalled. When they “hit the wall” from the unrelenting pace,
there is only one solution: “Climb the wall,” others reported. To be the
best Amazonians they can be, they should be guided by the leadership principles,
14 rules inscribed on handy laminated cards. When quizzed days later,
those with perfect scores earn a virtual award proclaiming, “I’m
Peculiar” — the company’s proud phrase for overturning workplace
conventions.
Interesting piece from the NY Slimes.
