Normally there would be another growing sector to relocate the more overstaffed department but there isn’t.

Knowing Amazon quite well, there definitely are sectors that are seriously deficient even new emerging ones within Amazon seem deficient.

It wasn’t painless, far from it, but the point was that unions couldn’t stop it, not that it was fair or nice.

I agree it wasn't painless in fact there is a high suicide rate within the computer sciences field. In fact it probably still isn't painless. I also agree unions are useless but some government regulation wouldn't be.

That just is.

Yea everything is. Until it isn't.
