Amazon has been hiring hundreds of thousands of workers for roles in its warehouses, which it calls fulfillment centers, but those employees have been quitting almost as fast as they can be hired, according to a huge report from The New York Times published on Tuesday.

It is soooo easy to purchase from Amazon and they offer a pretty good product. I am amazed that anti-trust and monopoly issues haven’t been brought against them. Who can truly compete with Amazon now?

And super gigantic Amazon was the LAST company I expected to hear tell me I’m a valued customer. I get that service from the owner of our local hardware store all the time, but AMAZON? I was blown away.
Best check your CC statement to see if it was charged for their ‘prime’ BS. They did it to both me and the wife after we specifically told them we were not interested.

It’ll make a thinner America

Exactly.
Me too.
It isn’t just the wages.
Amazon’s model it total replacement of every worker in three years.
The metrics they are using push that.

And it that keeps spreading, you will get socialism
