Great Recruiting Idea
Amazon is wooing seasonal employees with a chance at a $100,000 bonus. Here’s how it works:
“Amazon expects to hire 1,000 seasonal workers at its Coffeyville, KS warehouse for this year’s holiday shopping season. For each week of perfect attendance from Nov. 26 to Dec. 22, seasonal workers will be included in a drawing to win $100,000. On Dec. 22, Amazon will pick a name from all of the entries and the winner will receive $2,000 plus the chance to choose one of 100 envelopes. One of the envelopes will contain the $100,000 prize.”

So there is a 99% chance nobody will win – but the promotion should generate some publicity.
