Amazon has a lot money. These practices make them additional money. If they didn't have a lot of money they couldn't afford to hire to fire.

How can they do both? - They waste money when they hire to fire and constantly onboard. - They make money by not staffing enough resources but by using fear of being fired to force overtime.

Maybe the hire to fire costs are justified because the savings they get by understaffing outweights the cost.
