When will the regional product coordinators get eliminated? They are so useless. Anyone hear anything?

"In a rare move for the online retail giant, Amazon is laying off hundreds of corporate workers. The corporate cuts come after an eight-year hiring spree, taking the company from 5,000 in 2010 to 40,000 in its Seattle headquarters and gobbling up several retail businesses throughout the country.

However, according to the report, Amazon’s rising employee numbers over the last two years left some departments over budget and with too many staff on hand. In the last few months, the company implemented hiring freezes to stem the flow of new workers, cutting the number of open positions in half from the 3,500 listed last Summer. The layoffs will mainly focus on Amazon’s Seattle office, but there have already been cuts in some of its retail subsidiaries in other parts of the country"

Reduced yes, eliminated negative. These positions are at other conventional chains. Not as many of them surely but they won’t reduce to just Austin. Coming from conventional plenty of district managers regional directors etc. complain all you want but they ain’t leaving. Even amazon has these positions, frankly they have more executives than we do Times 1000 so get used to it
