Never-work list

I lived in Seattle for the majority of my life. I know a whole lot of people who have worked at Amazon. (Notice that this is written in past tense). Of all the people I've ever known who've worked there, only one intentionally stayed for substantially more than a year. He is just one of those people who struggles with change and just seems to be okay as long as he gets to do things he likes (like programming). 

I find it very informative that I know several people who willingly took huge paycuts or even went from a full time job to contract roles just to get away from Amazon. Amazon is at the top of my never-work list because it seems to be such a spectacularly awful place to work.
