Working As A Temp For Amazon
http://highline.huffingtonpost.com/a...h-amazon-temp/
My favorite quote from the article:
“It was basically a weeding process,” said Miller. “Whoever thought of it is genius. The way it runs, you get all the work you can out of people, and you don't have to manage them. It's brilliant.”

I heard a interesting report on NPR a while back, Amazon is using people that live year round in RVs as temps in Quartzsite Az, and yes they use them up then let them go. Amazon is the Internets modern day equivalent to Walmart.

I'm astounded at the people who still believe in American exceptionalism.
Me, I find the label "American" somewhat embarrassing any more .....
