Another Amazon post sorry- how big is corp??

(Started with Amazon 8 months ago as a recruiter on the operations side for the actual shipping warehouses so don’t come at me with y’all’s AWS recruiter issues) I saw the article said 10K layoffs is 3% of corporate work force but that would imply corp is like 300k+ people and that just doesn’t make sense to me. Does anyone know how big retail/devices/Alexa is for corporate roles? Is it really possibly that many? Also this site and Reddit combined have somewhat saved my sanity cause it feels like I’m not going thru the panic stage alone. TC: 140k, YOE: 9

Dude I looked it up, 1.6 includes ALL of Amazon, not just corporate.

It’s a really long thread, I had to dig for the Amazonian that got impacted today https://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/yv3y7f/amazon_reportedly_plans_to_lay_off_about_10000/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
