A disgruntled Amazon worker jumped off the internet giant’s Seattle corporate headquarters after being denied a departmental transfer.
An Amazon.com Inc. employee was injured when he leaped off a building at the company’s Seattle headquarters in what police characterized as a suicide attempt.
The man, who wasn’t identified by authorities, sent an e-mail visible to hundreds of co-workers, including Chief Executive Officer Jeff Bezos, before the incident occurred. The man survived the fall from Amazon’s 12-story Apollo building at about 8:45 a.m. local time Monday and was taken to a Seattle hospital. In the e-mail, the man expressed criticism of how the company handled his transfer request, and he hinted that he might harm himself.
The man had recently put in a request to transfer to a different department, but was placed on an employee improvement plan, a step that can lead to termination if performance isn’t improved.
The good news is the man survived the fall, and he arrived ahead of schedule with free shipping.
The O.K. Corral 
It seems like he transferred himself from the top floor to the bargain basement.

TXNick – Well at least he’s in a lower tax bracket now.
Metoo – I’m guessing the boy wasn’t exactly right in the head.
