Itâs called Zappos. A couple of months later, the uber smart 27-year old Hsieh joined the company as its CEO and, well, the rest is history. Today, Zappos is a wholly owned subsidiary of Amazon (having been acquired for $1.2 billion in 2009) and its roughly 1,500 employees, headquartered in Las Vegas, produce in excess of $2 billion in revenues annually.
The first year the offer is made, itâs for $2,000. Then it goes up one thousand dollars a year until it reaches $5,000. The headline on the offer is âPlease Donât Take This Offer.'â. Pay To Quit started at Amazon-owned Zappos, and the parent company adopted the concept for its fulfillment centers. On one hand, it sounds backwards. Companies pay their employees to work, not to not work. Then again, this is a company that isnât afraid to flirt with wacky ideas like delivering merchandise via unmanned drone aircraft.
