Amazon’s unique proposition for its staff

With its focus on faster delivery of orders, Amazon, the e-commerce marketplace, has come up with a very unusual proposition for its employees. The Company is asking its employees to quit their jobs so that it can help them set up their own business — that of delivering packages for Amazon. Amazon is aiming to reduce its shipping time from two days to a single day, for its Prime members. In order to achieve this goal, it has turned to its own part-time and full-time employees, including packers and other warehouse staff who help ship orders. It will be paying three months’ salary to the employees who are willing to quit and get into the package-delivery business. It will also be covering about $10,000 of start-up expenditure for these staff members.
