More layoffs, more profits.

The full 30,000 jobs would represent a small portion of Amazon’s 1.58 million employees, but nearly 10% of the firm’s corporate workforce. The majority of Amazon’s workers are in fulfillment centers and warehouses.

It would be the largest layoff in Amazon’s three-decade history. The company trimmed about 27,000 jobs in 2022.

      Amazon has never been like that, Google has had more perks like that in the past, but Amazon has always been much more frugal.

          Every manager can expense what they want if they can get their manager to support it, so some offices (or more realistically, some teams in some offices) have nicer perks than others, but GREF doesn’t provide anything for free. If she was getting free food, that was her management chain doing that, not amazon as a whole (unlike say Google or meta that has free cafeterias, I’ve never seen a cafeteria in Amazon with free food).
