> The facility had about 5,300 employees around that time.

So over 2 notices per employee. It would be interesting to see the distribution.



Reading https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/feb/04/amazon..., 5,300 employees means they had about 8,000 employees throughout the year, so the good news is that it’s fewer than 2 per employee. 8 months is extremely brutal, though.


Well, the notices were over a year.

Amazon has massive weekly turnover numbers so the real number of employees over that full year is likely well in excess of 5,000, putting it at least at 1.something per.

Then consider it’s almost certain a small number of employees rack up most of the notices, and I can see this happening.


Per-employee distribution might tell one story; per-manager distribution might tell another.


If there's a forest, I can't see it with all these trees in the way.
