  1. If this is happening in Arizona right now, How Coincidental..    CAN U CORRELATE THESE JOB LOSSES IN in red vs blue states?  please dig very deep into this.  PLEASE AND THANK YOU.

  2. BIDEN….. UNEMPLOYMENT IS AT A RECORD LOW SINCE I TOOK OFFICE…..WHAT A MIST HATED PRES. IN AMERICAN HISTORY

  3. Who knew independent ma & pa bookstore closing would do this?, as no one saw it coming right?, sad.

  4. This is unbelievable in current 2022 companies discarding people as trash that is no longer needed

  5. We have all seen this video before. 

    Corporate America laid off 40,000 employees in an attempt to block Obama from winning a second term with high unemployment.  When this did not work corporate America collectively stopped all capital investments.  This led to the mortgage crisis that they falsely blamed on toxic mortgages.  When people do not have jobs they can't pay their mortgages.  The same holds true for small business owners, they are forced to lay off their employees, and they too are no longer able to pay their mortgages when the cash flow stops.

    So, within weeks of each other Twitter and Meta laid off 11,000 employees each.  Now Amazon is announcing they are going to lay off 10,000 employees.  It is already underway to block Biden from a second term using the same tactics they used against Obama.

    Wake-up America

  6. They cutting everybody right before the holidays !!!! the grinch is inflation

  7. They tweaked system so bunch people ended up in bottom 5 % fired them, increased overtime.. obviously best performers get burned out n quit in couple weeks.. Amazon will be left with no one do the job

  8. Apple and Google are next

  9. Last week it was “quiet quitting” now everyone’s scared they might actually get fired.

  10. Mister Scrooge-Bezos isn't making enough money so he lays people off during the holidays? Humbug!

  11. These are ironies upon ironies in the workplace: Amazon was crying out for more workers — and now they are laying off many. ——— Other tech companies are melting the fat with efficiency as the era of COVID had taught them a better way. Bless them.

  12. It somewhat makes sense considering the factor that they hired more people during the pandemic to keep up with demand of at home shopper – what doesn't add up is why let go of employees right before the holidays? Considering both accounts that they will see an uptick in online shopping for Thanksgiving + Christmas from *customers, AND their workers need the extra money to keep up with holiday expectations. Make it make sense.

  13. Hope a lot of them were Visa prick Indians who now have to go back to India!

  14. deep cuts, then rehire for the holidays? smh lol

  15. capitalism without morals doesn’t work

  16. Funny they just gave us 2$ raises then they decide to fire 10k ppl sheeesh that’s where the raise came from

  17. So everything it starts with the president which has no clue how to regulate our economy 🤯

  18. This why they need union in this big companies

  19. People are losing job left and right, how can we have 3% unemployed?

  20. Biden's recession. And liberal blame Elon.

  21. I’m scared. I’m a Software Developer 😭 I have meeting tomorrow

  22. Amazon is my go to for shopping 🛍! Unhappy to hear this news especially during holidays.

  23. Bezos fires staff to recoup funds he gave to Dolly Parton.

  24. Damn, packages going to be even late now. Sheez!!

  25. I seen it coming a long time ago. All you liberals and Democrats caused this by voting them in office. Now we all have to live with it. One day you will learn.

  26. 4K with Twitter, 11k FB, 10k Amazon

  27. Amazon can't get rid of warehouse workers. these cuts will come from management and engineering (many people don't know this, but Amazon runs a cloud that powers many, many of the websites, apps, and games we all play – Amazon is way more than their online store)

  28. It appears Elon has started a new trend. Soon it will be on tik tok… "Firing thousands of employees."

  29. Amazon suck!! Stealing identity theft

  30. AI is coming for your job

  31. 10K workers out of 1.5 million worldwide. They probably have that much turnover +/- monthly just by people coming and going. They'll probably add 10x that by Christmas to ramp up for holiday shipping. Counter that to Twitter's 8K layoffs being 50%+ of the company.

  32. Retaliation for unionizing?

  33. Yey go Biden! We did it. Screw these rich people. As long as low income housing, food stamp, child care and cash aid is there for minorities who cares about rich people losing their jobs.

  34. Amazon had an overage of employees even during the pandemic. It was bound to happen, thankfully I don’t work there anymore.

  35. This sounds more like retaliation and offset for unionization efforts.
