The long-awaited Peak season begins, with Amazon giving all warehouse associates a Costco pumpkin pie worth $5.99. Philip recounts two below-minimum-wage jobs he's held and the odd management strategies used at Amazon. Eleven hours a day, five hours a week, are now required of all workers. There's also a bit about Georgian economics, and a tax that many economists call "the perfect tax."
