Did they also massively expand their staff during the pandemic like Twitter/FB did?
Edit: looks like they grew headcount by 60% (+500,000 people) in 2020 and 23% (+310,000) in 2021.
Today's announcement reduces headcount by 1% which is tiny compared to their growth.

- dehrmann 4y agoAmazon headcount numbers are different because warehouse workers are counted in that.
- grogenaut 4y agoAmazon brought on like 300-400k warehouse workers and customer service numbers would also move when that happens. They have a LOT of those workers compared to corporate and engineering. And they move those numbers a lot as well.
