There are people who prefer seasonal work. Maybe Xmas and summer gigs with rest of year off. Read the book Nomadland for details.

  That's what I thought, I live near one of the Big Amazon distribution centres in the UK and adds for Amazon Christmas workers are all over the Busses and billboards at this time of year.

  These aren’t seasonal positions. From https://www.cbsnews.com/news/amazon-jobs-to-hire-30000-people-amazon-is-holding-job-fairs-across-6-cities/ https://www.cbsnews.com/news/amazon-jobs-to-hire-30000-peopl... : > Amazon said all of the openings are for full time positions and come with benefits. And the company said the openings are not related to the usual increase in hiring it does to prepare for the busy holiday shopping season.

  The industry has disconnected itself so much from actual human beings that "There are people who prefer seasonal work" is a valid response.

    Yeah, this whole comment section is a dumpster fire I noticed. A bunch of people didn't even read the article.

    My wife does seasonal work. Retail related in last few months of year and tax stuff in tax season. She then has Summer off, its great.
