9. What a frickin waste of OUR time!

This is bait-and-switch!

You see a job advertised at Amazon and the salary range is on par with what you are worth. You meet the requirements and you have the needed experience and education.

As the article revealed, the interviewing process took three, long months!! After investing all time, energy and possibly travel--the salary is lowered. That is low!!

What a waste of our time and a complete lack of respect for workers. Amazon, and other companies that engage in these unethical, underhanded practices should be exposed and condemned.

Workers are at a disadvantage, because the job market and the economy is weak. It really sucks that companies like Amazon are exploiting and abusing people like this.

And you have to wonder... If Amazon would treat a potential employee like this during an interview, just how terrible are you treated after you are hired???
