From first hand experience I can say I never submitted an application to work at one of these places. The hiring process was me submitting my resume, doing phone interviews, and then in-person interviews.
I didn't need to submit a CV when I submitted a resume, and my work eligibility was verified when I filled out an I-9 form after getting the job. Furthermore, in the context of the discussion, what does asking about citizenship or demographics reveal about whether you've been fired from Amazon?
You can be condescending and speculate all you like, but I've actually gone through this process and it isn't as you describe it to be.
I like how you keep insisting that you know more about my hiring process than I do even though you know absolutely nothing about me, where i work, or what was involved. You can keep shifting the goal posts with each new comment, but you're still totally off base and entirely too confident, to almost an absurdist degree, in your assumptions.
Nobody has said anything about "strategic hires" other than you, so spare me your irrelevant rant about these 'entitled employees' that you've entirely invented in your head.
Nobody is going to care that you wouldn't relocate for your job and they will never check this reference until after you've already been interviewed and had a chance to explain.
