This holiday season Twitter fires 4K workers, Amazon fires 10K workers, & Facebook fires 11K workers—all while US Billionaire pandemic wealth increased an absurd $1.7T.😳

A reminder that billionaires don’t create jobs—they exploit workers. Tax billionaires. Unionize workers.

@QasimRashid I read somewhere that the 10k Amazon is firing is less than 1% of the total global workforce.

@rtn @QasimRashid It's also like four small towns in Idaho.

Whichever way you spin it, there are 10k less employed people than there were before and, societally, that's something everyone has to deal with.

@rtn @QasimRashid It's still 10 000 jobless people.

@Trance @QasimRashid I didn't mean 10k wasn't a lot of people. It was just to indicate how many people he's exploiting.

@rtn @QasimRashid Let's say that's true. So Amazon is reducing their labor expenses by 1% (note even their total expenses). Research shows that engagement and productivity fall among the remaining workforce after layoffs. However bad it is for the workers who are affected, it is unlikely to yield any significant benefit to Amazon as a company, and in fact has a non zero possibility of costing them in the future.
