Amazon Employee Reveals He Earned ₹4.5 Crore While Doing Minimal Work in Viral Confession

A senior Amazon employee has made waves online after confessing that he has earned a substantial income while doing virtually no work. The confession, shared on the anonymous professional forum Blind, has since gone viral. The employee admitted that he joined Amazon with the intention of getting paid without doing any significant work, expecting to be placed on a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP). However, after a year and a half, no one at the company has caught on to his lack of productivity.

The employee, who works as a Senior Technical Program Manager, revealed that he earns over $370,000 (approximately ₹3 crore) annually. Despite this impressive salary, he acknowledged that he has accomplished very little during his time at Amazon. He admitted to resolving only seven tickets and creating one automated dashboard, which he built in three days using ChatGPT. To cover his tracks, he falsely claimed that the dashboard took three months to complete.

In his post, the employee described his typical workday as consisting mainly of attending meetings and declining requests from other teams. He noted that most of his time is spent avoiding work rather than contributing to the company’s goals.

The post quickly gained attention on social media, with users sharing their thoughts on the situation. Some criticized the employee for taking advantage of the system, arguing that it undermines the efforts of those who work hard for their pay. Others, however, saw the situation as a reflection of the flaws within corporate culture, with some even praising the employee for prioritizing his personal life over work.

The confession has sparked a wider discussion about work ethics, corporate expectations, and the balance between professional and personal life. While the employee’s actions may be controversial, they have certainly ignited a debate on the nature of modern work.
