More layoffs, more profits.
The full 30,000 jobs would represent a small portion of Amazon’s 1.58 million employees, but nearly 10% of the firm’s corporate workforce. The majority of Amazon’s workers are in fulfillment centers and warehouses.
It would be the largest layoff in Amazon’s three-decade history. The company trimmed about 27,000 jobs in 2022.
Better benefits and pay than most other options in a lot of areas, especially warehouse workers in smaller towns.
That’s the only way they can keep bringing in people while forcing them to pee in cups. It is one of those last choice desperation jobs.
