Amazon has 1.5 million employees. I’m sure corporate side is a small chunk of that but a giant company cutting a few hundred doesn’t sound like big news?
Of which probably about 90% are minimum wage employees. Cutting a few hundreds that are not minimum wage employees does make a difference. Is the goal to reach 99.99% minimum wage work force? I'm sure it is.
A good company should be reducing the % of minimum wage employees instead while maintaining good profit. But I guess double digit growth is more important.
Amazon is one of the biggest company on the planet what they do, no only sets precedents but also is a visible exemple of what is "successful" and morally "acceptable".
Amazon! Job cuts! Recession! Scary!!
