Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos has revealed an unusual employment practice at the firm - it pays people to quit.

In his annual letter to shareholders, Bezos outlines the offer. "Pay to Quit is pretty simple," he says. "Once a year, we offer to pay our associates to quit. The first year the offer is made, it's for $2,000. Then it goes up one thousand dollars a year until it reaches $5,000."
