I agree with this, it’s the timing. Every Christmas hires extras, from Walmart to any retail store. Kinda spooky.

Well Amazon hired like over 100,000 people during the Covid time so....not that surprising.

I did not know this, so that would make a lot more sense then. I wonder what they have been doing with all their time then? I know it's not prioritizing shipping my packages, or packing them well.

Isn't this how it's supposed to be? I would be worried if it started to go down when accounting for inflation. Technically being even or just a little more means we are just as economically well off as back then. Though I don't care for the extreme and wide variance of politics and corruption on both sides that we have today.

They will have to do a lot more than 18k. They have like 1.5 million employees. They got bloated during the pandemic.

Well I can tell you their support has changed dramatically lately, you used to be able to chat with a customer service rep online, but it’s almost non existent anymore.

Man really starting to see the effect on Amazon. I was looking at stuff and not matter what I would order right now, it says it would come next In 7 days, no longer 2 days anymore. I thought it had something to do with the holidays, but it’s on everything I am looking at. Insane!
