This Amazon Employee is Paid Rs 3.10 Cr for Doing “Nothing”!

Startling most netizens, a Senior Technical Program Manager at Amazon recently revealed that he earns over $370,000 (approximately Rs 3.10 crore) for doing “nothing”.

His now-viral confession was posted on the anonymous forum Blind. The anonymous employee revealed that he joined the Amazon after getting laid off by Google.

The employee’s post has taken the internet by storm. A screenshot of the Blind post was also shared on X.

“I joined Amazon 1.5 yrs ago after I was included in Google’s layoff. I joined with the intention of doing ‘nothing,’ getting free money, and eventually getting put on a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP),” the employee wrote on Blind, a community where verified professionals can discuss all things work-related.

According to this man, during his tenure in the Amazon, he has only resolved seven support tickets and developed a single automated dashboard, which he claimed took three months to build, when in fact it was created in just three days using artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot ChatGPT.

As per this man, his 8-hour workday is mostly spent attending meetings.
