Well it’s tricky right? Amazon had huge demand. If they didn’t hire during the pandemic then they can’t meet the demands of their customers. Performance degrades. Packages don’t deliver on time. They run out of stock. Is it preferable to provide shitty service to your customers or hire to meet those demands and then adjust to market realities later?

Packages don't deliver on time if they don't hire enough people to work on AWS? Hard to imagine that day to day performance of their core business is really related to headcount.
The cuts are coming from Alexa and e-commerce, right? I didn’t see any ya out AWS… maybe I missed it tho.
