Here is the wall street article: https://www.wsj.com/articles/amazon-to-lay-off-over-17-000-workers-more-than-first-planned-11672874304
Note how the URL says 17000, but the article itself says 18,000 ?
Lets check the archives shall we?
Haha, yeah, Amazon first announced 17,000 workers to be layed off, and a day later changed it to 18,000. I wonder why ? 🤔
Do you have a password to read the wsj article?
No, but the archive version should be readable for free.
Seasonal contractors?
the comments are interesting to say the least.
Wonder how they will continue to make their deliveries. That is a lot of people.
My guess is that Amazon will collapse and people will have to get used to paying for deliveries.
Layoffs concentrated in the corporate ranks. Is not the delivery drivers, it’s the office people.
As the magic money dries up Amazon and all others will collapse, the whole lot.
