FYI Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 I always thought that Atlanta was over-rated for the 2nd HQ. Didn’t really meet some of the key requirements to Amazon’s prerequisites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baron-pierreIV Posted November 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 I also think that Amazon has over-rated the qualifications for being an order filler. You don't need a f*cking college degree to pull items and pack them off! That is still an entry-level job (much like being a fast-food worker WITHOUT the grease). So I don't know why they are hoping to attract so-called "highly educated" workers. My rough guess is that for your people under 25, they will last 1.5 years being an "order-filler" for amazon. Older workers may last longer for the simple reason that it will be harder for them to move around like younger workers but from a productivity POV, they will be much slower. And pretty soon, that task will be filled by robots, if it isn't already. I think they got best tax breaks from NYC and Virginia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baron-pierreIV Posted February 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2019 Ha! Even amazon bailed out of NYC after picking them. Bid required too many stadia!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
