Filings reviewed by Newsweek show that thousands of Amazon employees across Washington, California, Maryland, and New York are slated to lose their jobs on Tuesday, April 28. Some job losses are at the corporate office in New York City, while others are tied to the shuttering of Amazon Fresh grocery stores. Amazon is also laying off 691 workers on Monday in Virginia.

Not sure if this is in response to internal bean counters or reduced external demand, but it doesn’t even make sense to buy from them without Prime nowadays. I can literally get items from almost any local store the same day or next day for cheap or free. Some online retailers can get me stuff same week, and Amazon with their massive warehouse down the block can’t do it within five days most of the time unless I pay for shipping… At which point I’d rather just shop almost anywhere else.
I refuse to subscribe to Prime because I’m sick of all these companies trying to lock me into their own business. I’ll just go source locally, shop around online, or pay the shipping at Amazon once every two months when I truly can’t find what I need at a reasonable price anywhere else.
