- missedthecue 5y agoMuch longer delivery times, angry customers, prime cancellations, tainting the brand, losing market share... Amazon's retail business has very thin margins. It's not running at AWS margins.
- cookie_monsta 5y agoMy understanding is that "thin margins" has more to do with the way earnings are reported than anything else[1] But anyway, if the answer to workers who don't earn enough is always "switch jobs/work harder/work more" why is the answer to companies who don't earn enough never "switch industries/remodel your business"?
