Store layoffs

As it's the case every year, we're seeing more stores unit cuts. Don't expect this to stop any time soon. Usually, cuts like these drag on until March.

If Amazon REALLY wanted to cut costs efficiently....

Don't do RTO. Instead, layoff (with cause) all L10-L12 staff excluding technical IC's (including Andy, S-Team). L8's already have enough knowledge to effectively run the company. Problem solved. RTO effectively dismisses the best staff, keeps the... — read more

Fired after 4 weeks

The Big Question on Everyone's Mind is....
