Amazon's up to $5,000 offer for disgruntled employees to leave their posts at the company is the online retailer's way to make its workplace a more enjoyable and happier place to work in.
According to The Telegraph, employees who have been employed at the Amazon for no more than year can receive $2,000 to leave the company.
Those who have worked a year or more are eligible to get $1,000 for each additional year they worked up for a maximum $5,000 The Telegraph reported.
"The goal is to encourage folks to take a moment and think about what they really want. In the long run, an employee staying somewhere they don't want to be isn't healthy for the employee or the company," Jeff Bezos, CEO at Amazon told The Telegraph.
Amazon has been busy bringing new individuals to the company with 2,500 in the previous fiscal quarter The Telegraph reported.
According to The Telegraph, previous news has reported conditions at Amazon facilities where workers reportedly had to strut the equivalent of 11 miles while on the job and were required to stay on the job past their regular hours.
Employees are also reportedly tracked for the length of time they take when they go to the bathroom, and are terminated should they call out sick over three times a fiscal period The Telegraph reported.
Amazon announced 2,500 full-time jobs were available Feb. 2 which included positions in Chester, Va., Petersburg, Va. Coffeyville, Kan, Columbia, S.C., Dupont, Wash, and Murfreesboro, Tenn., USA Today reported.
Over 20,000 individuals were employed at Amazon fulfillment centers in 2013. Over 50 percent began as seasonal employees.
One hundred seventeen thousand, three hundred full-time and part-time employees worked for the online retailer last year as well. Employees at the centers make more than workers at regular retailers.
