Amazon can't horde the employees, but I would expect them to be more responsible than save up for massive layoffs.

Amazon of all companies, a Covid sweetheart, is just devilish.
I have no words for this one honestly. Watch what a mega profitable company does during a recession and you’ll know everything you need to know. They are not good to workers, from top to the warehouse bottom. I believe every last story about the warehouse workers, all the way to the PIP nonsense.

Responsibility and sustainability, I think, only happens on the small scale. It is too hard for a company like Amazon to be responsible, so rather than them being evil, it's just... easier to do other things. Path of least resistance.
I think there are large corps that do this well... Publix is employee-owned, and they have never had a layoff in nearing 100 years... (they were founded in 1930, so weathered every major modern economic disaster)
