Amazon has embarked on an extraordinary hiring binge this year, adding up an average of 1,400 new workers a day and increasing its power as online shopping becomes more popular in the coronavirus pandemic.
The hiring has taken place at Amazon’s headquarters in Seattle, at its hundreds of warehouses in rural communities and in countries such as India or Italy. Amazon added over 400 000 employees between January and October, pushing its work force to almost 1.2 million people globally, more than 50 percent from a year ago.
Most have been warehouse workers, but Amazon has also hired software engineers and hardware specialists to power enterprises such as cloud computing, streaming entertainment and devices, which have boomed in the pandemic.
The scale of hiring is even larger than it may seem because the numbers do not include the 100,000 temporary workers or roughly 500,000 delivery drivers, who are contractors and not direct Amazon employees.
Amazon’s rapid employee growth is unrivaled in the history of corporate America.
Apart from focusing on taking over the whole world with their dominance, Seller Union believes that Amazon should instead work on treating their employees and third party sellers fairly, with a mutual respect.
