1) Work is work. The percentage breakdowns here don't seem too far off from any other company. It would be interesting to see what the author feels the percentages should be. My gut feeling for anyone willing to walk away from a job is that they probably do need a break for a few months.
2) If you're looking for reasons to be unhappy, or trying to justify unhappiness... you may be depressed. Switching jobs may help, but if you walk around smelling shit all day remember to check your own shoes. Everything is going to smell like shit until you get the help you need to get back to being healthy. Getting help is hard, but it really makes life (and work) a lot easier.
3) Amazon... I've written about this in the past, but I really have a love / hate around my time there. Looking back, lots of talent, lots of cool projects. But I just felt like Amazon was perhaps the worst place I ever worked for people giving praise or sharing appreciation. Amazon... I can't put my finger on it exactly, but it did often feel like their mission was to suck all the fun out of the room.
