Termination risk
You are at risk of being terminated quickly at Amazon if you do not meet these three requirements:
1. rate
2. defects per million opportunities (dpmo)
3. time off task (tot)
The current numbers are:
Rate: approx. 225 items per hour
DPMO: less than 3 defects per 100 items handled
TOT: no more than 30 minutes total per day (Even using the restroom adds up, so you need to schedule your BMs before or after work, as crazy as that sounds)
These numbers aren't realistic, so turnover is so high. This is true for associates and even managers!
