Ty:               Thank you. How does Amazon value employee families? What is the policy for vacation/sick time?

Thamarai:   Amazon.com's salaried employees earn two weeks of vacation time in their first year of employment and three weeks of vacation in their second year. Hourly employees earn 40 hours of vacation time in their first year of employment and 80 hours in their second year. All employees earn six personal days per year.

Ty:               What do your communication networks look like? How does Amazon communicate with people in the company and people outside the company?

Thamarai:   Could you please check our amazon website to know more about them.

Ty:               Sure, I have one more question. We are curious about your use of the drones. We have seen videos related to Amazon drones before. Are they in use now? If so, what kind of problems have incurred with the drones?

Thamarai:   In the recent past, UAVs were most often associated with the military, where they were used initially for anti-aircraft target practice, intelligence gathering and then, more controversially, as weapons platforms. Drones are now also used in a wide range of civilian roles ranging from search and rescue, surveillance, traffic monitoring, weather monitoring and firefighting to personal drones and business drone-based photography, as well as videography, agriculture and even delivery services. http://internetofthingsagenda.techtarget.com/definition/drone
