Reply to comment by RaycharlesN in Amazon workers in the U.S. and 30 other countries plan Black Friday protests by AmethystOrator

Where I am at average salary is 18.75 an hour for amazon warehouse. Assuming 40 hours a week, the positon would cost 39000 per 52 weeks. Times 10,000 that's 390 million.

That's 3.25% of a 12billion. Not a negligible amount.

If you freeze hiring and move employees around you don’t have to lay anyone off. Amazon has given these people that are laid off the opportunity to apply for other open jobs within the company but when they do apply they’re not being interviewed or seriously considered without explanation. There is no attempt to care for these employees at all. No loyalty - Just greed and profit.
