Amazon is more profitable than ever after a year of mass layoffs::The tech giant posted the largest quarterly operating income in its history on the back of cost-cutting and faster revenue growth in key divisions.
Haven’t ordered anything from their site for years and never felt better
Cutting to profitability. A tired and true way to make the books look good.
(Not a typo)
Till shit starts falling apart and then gradually customers get aggravated and move away to something else.
TLDR: Amazon is a cunt
I always sign up for the free Prime trials just so I can get the satisfaction of cancelling.
How often does that happen? What’s the duration?
I was mostly being facetious, I try not to use Amazon. My wife does off and on and has used a free trial 3-4 times a year.
The trials are 30 days (in the US) and years ago, 4-5, I would just use a throwaway email and do a new trial every 30 days to keep Prime. Not sure if they guard against that at all now or not.
They offer me “free trials” every few months when i try to purchase something. which i accept and then promptly cancel so I don’t forget about it. It’s helpful for me since there are some things i need to purchase regularly on there. No throwaway required.
Good to know, glad you take advantage! Amazon is one of several companies I avoid on ethical grounds but I fault nobody else for shopping there.
All the news today about them reminded me to cancel my prime membership. Thanks, Barbara Streisand!
If this isn’t a sign for Amazon workers that their contribution is undervalued even at their current compensation, I don’t know what is. For fucks sake, unionize and become millionaires!
And today I cancelled my prime membership and it feels great
Money for me, but not for thee
But you know their product is going to go to shit in a few quarters, so be sure to sell high.
Does that mean that massive layoffs work?
Nobody works after massive layoffs :)
If you stop putting fuel in your car, the first few miles are very cheap i must say…
eat the rich. regulate monopolies
And stop buying their shit, Yes, all you Amazon account holders.
i mean yeah duh. that doesn’t mean it’s right or good to do mass layoffs
That’s generally how the economy works, unless you’re in a recession…
Almost all of it is AWS. Which has a what, a 30% margin? Your money at work.
