Fun fact: Amazon is actually starting to run out of meat for their grinder.
That's what the machines are for. Every profit focused business aspires to not pay for labor.
Amazon can't even succeed when they buy an existing robot company, let alone build their own in-house. It'll be a long, slow fall, but hard, and someone will eat their lunch when it comes to automated labor.
wait what? are they actually having trouble hiring now?
But in his final letter to shareholders as chief executive last year, Bezos said the company had to “do a better job” for its employees. Amazon will commit to being “earth’s best employer and earth’s safest place to work”, he wrote.
In part, Bezos’s change of heart is down to a wave of unionization efforts at the company’s warehouses. But Amazon also faces a problem of scale. As the US’s second largest private employer, it is now struggling to replace all the workers it loses.
No way, are we actually forcing Jeff Bezos to stop being the worst employer on planet Earth?
And all we had to sacrifice was everything!
