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.

    Just capitalist being capitalists. Amazon still breaks volume records every year and demand has not slumped. Just gotta try and make the company even more profitable every year somehow.
