If you think 85,000 if a lot (it is), Amazon employs a whopping 1.6m.

> In 2021, the American multinational e-commerce company, headquartered in Seattle, Washington, employed 1,608,000 full- and part-time employees.[1]

Yeah Walmart employs more people than some major militaries but nobody blinks an eye because you can see what those people are doing.

It's clearly not an apples for apples comparison. Op said "for an organisation", not for a company without fulfilment centers, drivers, etc.

Amazon handles physical products, that’s a completely different game
