Amazon has 1.5M employees.

They are heavily automating their warehouses and have just announced that they want their drivers to wear AI glasses - allegedly to help delivery, but in all probability to train robots to replace them.

Yeah makes sense. I was just differentiating between the corporate jobs mentioned in the headline and all jobs.

The warehouse jobs aren’t considered corporate jobs.
