Trust me 10 dollar an hour jobs don’t fuel the economy they will just line the dealers pockets and local 7-11s They 6 figure jobs they said it will have I’m sure are already selected and that person will be moved to that city. We need to organize them and make them 20 - 30 $ an hour jobs . Top brass at amazon received 1 to 2million bonus checks yearly
Bend over.
We're getting postings about a Memphis distribution center and their choosing a second headquarters mixed up. For the record, Charlotte would be a good pick for a second headquarters because of the lifestyle for execs, which is usually a consideration. If they open a distribution center in Memphis it'll supply a decent number of full-time jobs, something lacking at the Memphis Hub. However the Memphis Hub is much larger than an Amazon distribution center, will still be attractive to students and full-time workers looking to supplement their pay with a second job. Wouldn't be surprised if some manage to do both Amazon and FedEx.
If they are looking for lifestyle, SD would be the place.
Cost of living
That must be the reason why 40 million people live in California.
But look at the cost of real estate, the taxes, the general cost of living, and it keeps both headquarters on the West Coast.
I'm just saying from a lifestyle point of view and a pool of talent it doesn't get much better that the West Coast and San Diego.
I would have years ago if they hired like FedEx does. Couldn’t risk the possibility of not passing the probation period. Maybe that deters others also. Who knows?
Look at the people that live in California and make 6 figures and can't even afford a decent apartment and definitely not a house they can buy.
Talent pool in California for tech companies is just so much greater than everywhere else that's a fact. San Diego is expensive but there's a reason for that. Especially if you're making good money at a big company.
Is Amazon creating a new HQ for the tech side? I've haven't been following too closely but I thought it was going to be an HQ for the logistics side of the company.
Amazon is a tech company.
Not really anymore. Microsoft is a tech company. How many cargo planes does Microsoft own? Amazon is a major player in multiple industries. I am curious as to the reason for another HQ, will it be the center for a specific branch of the company?
It is a tech company just as google has branched out to other sectors. Everything this company does is founded in tech.
So Amazon doesn't warehouse millions of items in all of their warehouses? If they do, logistics is involved as well.
