The way Amazon uses tech to squeeze the most possible work out of each and every employee is its own new brand of management: Bezosism

For Austin Morreale, working as a stower in an Amazon warehouse was tough to the point of being physically unsustainable, but nonetheless rewarding. The hours were long and the work grueling. The night shift he took at Amazon on top of his day job as a case manager for a nonprofit group was plainly unsustainable, but he only planned to do it for a summer, anyway. He needed the money, the immediate access to health insurance, and the change of pace. He lasted six weeks.

Mr. Morreale, 50 years old, worked at the LGA9 fulfillment center in Edison, N.J., and says that while many people he trained alongside quit within their first two weeks on the job, he “actually had a good experience there.” But it was hard work—which in some ways reminded him of his days as a high-school athlete. “It was 10 hours of pretty much mind-numbingly boring work, pretty much standing in the same position for the whole shift,” he said.
