The most interesting stat to me is:
> The number of packages that Amazon ships itself per employee each year has also steadily increased since at least 2015 to about 3,870 from about 175...
- onlyrealcuzzo 1y agoThat's impressive growth, to be sure. But shipping about 0.5 packages per employee per day is not impressive to start... It's no wonder Amazon didn't make money for a very long time.
- davey48016 1y agoIt says "ships themselves". I interpreted that as meaning through their own delivery service versus UPS/USPS, and I thought those third party shipments were still picked up at Amazon warehouses. Meaning this could have much more to do with Amazon building out their delivery service than with warehouse efficiency. I'm also under the impression that most of the Amazon delivery drivers are contractors, and wouldn't count in "per employee" metrics.
