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.

Trust me, I understand my privilege. I don’t begrudge anyone working there because they have to. In the tech (read:coding) industry, where there are more options (though fewer these days), I don’t understand putting themselves into the meat grinder if they don’t have to.
