    Why Amazon?

    They are the worst of all companies to join [0] and always have tight profit margins every year, meaning they need to find ways to eventually increase that and have to lay off at least 10,000+ employees out of necessity on top of the constant politicking just for that promotion to survive the next layoff.

    They are about to cut another 14K+ employees because they can [1] and want 30,000 jobs cut in total (For comparison, that is 6x OpenAI, 0.95x of Nvidia and 0.38x of Meta employees) this year.

    There's 1.6M+ of you joining a forever squid game to survive elimination when the company openly wants to replace their (warehouse) workers with robots AND the (corporate) rest with AI agents + humans, meaning an eventual reduction of human labor to increase their margins.

      with regards to the squid game, what says this isn't going to happen to most of big tech or even other industries?
