Amazon’s workforce doubled from ~800k to ~1.6m employees from 2019 to 2021.

If you’re wondering how it’s even possible for an HR department to hire so many people so fast, you’re spot on — Amazon workers have been hired (and fired) without talking to a
<a style="color: #192733; text-decoration: underline !important;">
single human
</a>
.

<strong>
Rapid hiring and firing…
</strong>
</h4>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
… may have put Amazon in this mess, but the company has options to get out of it, like:
</p>
<ul style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 12px; margin: 0;">
<li style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 0 0 0 15px; padding: 0px;">
<strong>
Relaxing the rules:
</strong>
In places with a higher risk of worker shortage, Amazon’s been more lenient about its stringent workplace policies.
</li>
<li style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 0 0 0 15px; padding: 0px;">
<strong>
Increasing pay:
</strong>
Internal research at Amazon found that every dollar added to its minimum wage attracts 7% more workers into its hiring pool. Following that logic, an increase of $1.50/hr would extend Amazon’s runway by another three years.
</li>
<li style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 0 0 0 15px; padding: 0px;">
<strong>
Better planning:
</strong>
Amazon’s HR division believes the company can improve the situation by ensuring new warehouses have adequate local labor pools.
</li>
</ul>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
Another possible solution? Doubling down on automation.
</p>
<h4 style="font-size: 17px; height: 100%; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height: 22px; padding-top: 8px; margin: 0px;">
<strong>
Robots…

… are nothing new to Amazon, which
<a style="color: #192733; text-decoration: underline !important;">
purchased
</a>
manufacturer Kiva Systems in 2012 — a deal that’s reportedly saved Amazon billions.
</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
The company has an internal goal of increasing productivity by 25% by 2024 strictly through improved automation.
</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
By then, if current hiring trends continue, a robot-dominant workforce may be Amazon’s only option.

Urine as a fertilizer has several benefits

</h4>
