Mostly warehouse workers after peak. This isn’t new.

100000 out of 1.54million

Which is still decent amount. Surprised that could be simply done by attrition

Overhired warehouse workers during pandemic because many didn't come in. Now they are overstaffed.

Sounds like you have an agenda and are jelly

Walmart vWcr12 OP Aug 6, 2022

No I am curious of how 100k could be done by attrition without layoff? That would save a lot of money for sure

Walmart copies Amazon. Be careful

Walmart vWcr12 OP Aug 6, 2022

Amazon copies Walmart too? Otherwise why wholefood and other physical stores?

Agreed. But the complaint was about Amazon

You have an axe to grind. Listen to other answers here about warehouse worker cycles. Amazon is hiring tech workers as they were last year.

Walmart vWcr12 OP Aug 6, 2022

Listening. I simply put what written in the article about attrition

Walmart vWcr12 OP Aug 6, 2022

“After relying on attrition to winnow its staff, Amazon now has about 100,000 fewer employees than in the previous quarter.” “Amazon has been subleasing some warehouse space and paused development of facilities meant for office workers, saying it needed more time to figure out how much space employees will require for hybrid work. The company now has 1.52 million full- and part-time workers and is still the largest employer in the tech world, despite the reduction in headcount.”

Surprised to see OP who seems to be in e-commerce finding this fake. What do you think happens in your retail stores and warehouses between Oct to Jan? One hires temp workers for the peak season.

“Chief financial officer Brian Olsavsky said at the time. Amazon has been subleasing some warehouse space and paused development of facilities meant for office workers, saying it needed more time to figure out how much space employees will require for hybrid work.”

Seems it is for office workers as well. But anyway this is a good channel to share any idea and info
