    Amazon's employee turnover rate is high, with some estimates putting it at around 150% annually:
    Warehouse workers
    Amazon's warehouse workers have an annual turnover rate of around 150%, which is nearly double the rate of similar businesses. This means that Amazon replaces its entire warehouse workforce roughly every eight months.
    Overall workforce
    Amazon's overall turnover rate is also high, and is generally well above industry norms.
    Cost
    The high turnover rate costs Amazon and its shareholders $8 billion annually.
    Amazon's turnover rate varies by position and section, but some say it's a strategic move:
    Amazon's beliefs: Amazon believes that a tenured workforce leads to mediocrity.
    Performance improvement plans: Amazon ranks all of its employees every year and fires the bottom 10%.
    Tech workers: Amazon's tech workers usually leave within two years.
    In contrast, Amazon's Prime Video has a low churn rate of 8%, which is the lowest among streaming services.
