Amazon axes 18,000 headcount, almost double the planned

They usually say the FBI calls it an "idea." Does this look like an "idea" to you?

Preaching to the choir. Antifa are communists. They began in the 30s in Germany and were mostly funded by the Soviets. Only good thing Hitler ever did was drive them into the dirt.

Oh, but, The Biden economy is so strong!

We are likely at the front end of a depression, which I expect to go on for many years.

 

[Phantasmal]

It’s simple, after COVID people are returning to the brick and mortar store.

I hate that.

You're absolutely wring about that, sister.

That's what I call a target-rich environment. Fuck that, them motherfuckers chuck Molotov cocktails n shit. It's open season on them motherfuckers the next time they show up.

America ain't gotta put up with no bullshit like that. This here ain't no Nazi Germany, bitch. Fuck you with that!

Shoot the motherfuckin' cocktails in their hands. They tried to kill a Ronald McDonald house..fuck them.

Full of disabled kids and their parents.

LYNCHING!!!

 

[Hawkeye10]

I hate that.

Many decades of outrageously irresponsible behavior must be punished....the Universe shall insist.

 

[Geeko Sportivo]

No, they run Seattle, and they've run it into the ground.

I have never liked the people from there!

There is something wrong with those people.

Texans and people from the State of Washington do not mix very well.

However, I did know a few people at Washington State University that were super nice and very smart.

I had several work projects at the University that required I spend a lot of time there back in the 90's.

But, in General those Rude Fucks in that state need a swift kick in the rear end!

So we have no argument on Washington people!

The majority of people in Seattle were not born in Washington I am fairly sure.

 

[Geeko Sportivo]

I've said that about Texas for years. But when people move here they get with the program- Well except for people FROM Seattle!

One of our band members from there is a total dick!

But Seattle? Some of the most noticeably rude unsociable assholes on the planet- WHEREVER THEY ARE FROM!

And it's not just Seattle- it seems to be statewide!

 

[Celticguy]

They are not all Seattle based....but it looks like a lot of them are....and Seattle is in trouble.

yes, Seattle is in trouble. started with the Insurrection still in effect there. will end when that process completes.

Amazon I think considers themselves a tech company.....it is tech jobs that are getting creamed....because so many of those jobs are going away which are filled with entitled know nothings who either add little or nothing to the bottom line or else subtract from it...which is going to come as a shock to a lot of people.

they may consider themselves a tech company but the vast majority of their headcount is boxing up goods and delivering them quickly and efficiently. They no longer need so many boxers and delivery people.

 

[Celticguy]

They are mostly Seattle based. The warehouses are fully automated and that staff is still packing stuff pretty damn fast. Amazon is investing in new warehouses as well. That also means staffing them.

still got people running boxes p to porches from sea to shining sea. That population is huge and needs shrinking as fewer and fewer boxes are being sent.

Retail everywhere is having problems. It has to do with supply lines being so fucked up.

it used to have that, now it has a disposable income problem.

 

[Celticguy]

These are primarily white-collar jobs. The S&P will take a big hit causing waves in the entire economy. Predictions are for fools but the Greater Depression before the 2024 election is a good bet.

Good bet ? Yeah but I'd say lead pipe cinch and will roll i in a few separate waves.

 

[Celticguy]

Which is why it's time to get rid of the deadwood.

exactly. but it will be funny listening to Pedo Joe pretend its not happening.

That will be true soon, but right now national spending is till being pumped by the creation of new dollars, which is ending, and then we will be in a profound economic disaster.

Buckle Up....This is going to hurt like a son of a bitch.

ShadowStats is showing unemployment for Dec.2022 at 24.4%. Lockdowns are over. Real unemployment could easily go back up to 30% or even 35%. That's 1/3 of working Americans who are either underemployed or unemployed.

One of the nice parts about being educated, when you lose one job, another one usually appears, many times even better paying.
