To maximize morale pain so more people leave without having to pay them severance. If you knew you were at risk of being laid off sometime in the next few months, wouldn't you start looking now?
- Wowfunhappy 4y agoBut doesn't this also mean you're more likely to loose your best employees (who can more easily find a job elsewhere) and retain your worst ones (who'll consider an unpleasant Amazon better than any alternative)?
- makestuff 4y agoWhere are they going to go at this point? Not many places hiring that will pay more than Amazon. One question I do have is since H1B is technically only allowed when there is not a citizen who can complete the job, does that mean that people on visas would be laid off first or does that not go into consideration for the layoffs.
