well... I guess.tiff, i mean that could very well have been it. idk it just seems like a terribly bad business decision by the whole industry. If it was a capacity thing then adding headcount would decrease capacity for at least a year or so as you have to integrate all those people into culture and work to get things productive. On the other hand, I can see a "turn the knob up, then turn the knob down" strategy making sense to some people.

Especially when the company culture basically boils down to "The individual employee is worth nothing" and "People should be able to be fired as easily as they are hired", which Amazon seems to be, at least judging by the people I've been close to who worked at Amazon.
