Absolutely. But it isn't unreasonable to think some people might think they have a new job if amazon doesn't say it explicitly.

Where I am at average salary is 18.75 an hour for amazon warehouse. Assuming 40 hours a week, the positon would cost 39000 per 52 weeks. Times 10,000 that's 390 million.
That's 3.25% of a 12billion. Not a negligible amount.

It sounds like Amazon workers get hired for the lead up to the holidays. If you get hired in October it's not unreasonable to assume you aren't a seasonal worker, and then to be dropped in January because your metrics are down keeps them from laying you off due to lack of work.
You thought you had a steady job - and if you're doing amazon you might not have many options - and then you get dumped because amazon just doesn't need you anymore.

There are fewer than 373k people in all of Iceland, smaller than most major cities in countries around the world.
What they do and don't do isn't any more relevant than what Baltimore does.
