At Amazon, workers are encouraged to tear apart one another’s ideas in meetings, toil long and late (emails arrive past midnight, followed by text messages asking why they were not answered), and held to standards that the company boasts are “unreasonably high.” The internal phone directory instructs colleagues on how to send secret feedback to one another’s bosses. Employees say it is frequently used to sabotage others. (The tool offers sample texts, including this: “I felt concerned about his inflexibility and openly complaining about minor tasks.”)
However, many workers called it a river of intrigue and scheming. They described making quiet pacts with colleagues to bury the same person at once, or to praise one another lavishly. Many others, along with Ms. Willet, described feeling sabotaged by negative comments from unidentified colleagues with whom they could not argue. In some cases, the criticism was copied directly into their performance reviews — a move that Amy Michaels, the former Kindle manager, said that colleagues called “the full paste.”

Maybe not, IN NYC they don't give a fukk what u do or how u living, they barely treat you after suicide attempts. My friend's son jumped off part of a Bridge over here an was not institutionalized for long. He even got off the meds rather quickly after coming out.
I would have just given two week notice or did the employee review period. Doesn't sound like situation was that deep, but definitely some upside thinking on worker's part. Authorities should have been called when he sent email too. Amazon fukked up there. First Walmart, now amazon. Anything that cheap and big is evil to employees.

You a damn foolMick Foley reading this story like
It's not exact but in my line of work it is about 10 ft from floor to ceiling plus about 3 to 5 feet between each floor so about 150-170 feet. Story standard is actually 13 ft or 12.6ft but it varies and lobbies are usually 20-30 ft in a big bldg so I'd guess closer to 170ft or more.
