Google doubled their occupancy to 7k. Amazon was promising 25k jobs. I'm stunned out how so many people in this thread are pretending thats equivalent.

- joshuamorton 8y agoYou've got something confused here. Google's current occupancy in NYC is >7K. They were/are planning to more than double that to ~20K. So it's absolutely an expansion of a similar scope.
- YeahSureWhyNot 8y agoempty promise is useless. did they sign a contract saying if they hire 1 person less than 25k and their average salary is 1 dollar less than 150k by certain time then they will refund all tax breaks? when bezos signs that contract then I would believe this.
- ctvo 8y agoTheir entire deal, which was released with the initial announcement, is predicated on them creating those promised jobs and building those promised buildings. There are benchmarks along the way and all the incentives are based on meeting those benchmarks. In short, yes, they would have signed a contract stating that.
