They just went on a hiring and warehouse building binge since COVID. The thought was that the “Order In” economy was here to stay. I guess nothing lasts forever.
But Biden stated our economy was booming!!!
They halted construction on their Amazon 2 headquarters in Arlington VA. I had no doubt 5 years ago when learned they were coming to DC that they would never fully open A2. They expanded too quickly, bought While Foods and ruined it, depended on the Pentagon DOD Cloud management system contract which they lost to Microsoft (Thank you Trump!), and provided crappy service overall. Never trusted their business plan. Good riddance.
They’ve closed all but a few of their warehouses.
