Calm down, @HuskyBuck. How you got me being anti-capitalistic and anti-technology out of my post puts you at HuskyBuck’s weight class intellectually even if it isn’t somehow an alt account for you. Are you that stupid?
It's just such a ignorantly stupid post that I had to respond.
e-commerce is a major, major industry in this country. Not a lot of e-commerce companies/e-comm tech companies had to lay off a bunch of people, for good reason. As a matter of fact most were still hiring people as the tech giants were shedding dead weight. And it's a industry that hires for a bunch of different skillsets and backgrounds.
So make sure you know what you're talking about next time.
Amazon laid off 27,000 people just last year so this is just a retarded post in the manner of @HuskyBuck. Where you ever got the notion that I’m anti-technology or anti-capitalism is your own fever dream but I’d like to try and see you argue your stupid post in the face of evidence that says the complete opposite.
In March, Amazon executed a reduction of 9,000 additional jobs, bringing the total number of layoffs at Amazon to 27,000. This round of job cuts became the second-largest in the company’s history, supplementing the 18,000 employees the tech giant had announced it would lay off back in January. Throughout the pandemic, Amazon's workforce had doubled, aligning with a widespread hiring surge across almost the entire tech sector.
I can order directly from Amazon and have things delivered to my front door. What the fuck do you consider e-commerce? You were initially replying to a post about Amazon, you dipshit. Go back to your Buck account, poseur.
That graph looks fucking stupid and is probably lumping in AWS with Amazon anyways.
You aren't going to win this argument, on this topic. Like @bridgetrollduck you should walk away before I decide to break the splintered plunger off sideways.
With stores not going after looters because democrats in government don't care, and deciding instead to lock down everything and badger paying customers, e commerce will only grow
Shopify laid off 20% of its global workforce today — its second sizeable employee culling after a reduction of 10% announced last July. This latest downsizing also includes the wholesale divestment of an entire line of business: Shopify’s in-house logistics arm, which sought to own more of the warehousing and fulfillment chain for its merchants.
I agree people will continue to buy things online, but the discussion with haie is bout layoffs in that sector which will only continue to continue as automation and AI becomes cheaper and more efficient.
People do need disposable income to buy things, and it’s possible that the forced lockdowns of 2020 peaked the market as we’ve seen massive layoffs since. Amazon and Wal-Mart can afford to ride out losses and layoff people to improve stock value. Lesser companies like Shopify can’t and will be bought by the titans in the market.
Then throw in high interest rates for a retailer to stock all of its shelves for 1500 locations and it is incredibly inefficient cashflow wise compared to online selling. That doesn't matter as much at low rates but it puts them out of business at higher rates.

Have at it, Buck!

The biggest layoffs of 2023
Amazon – 27,000

Dumb fuck, does Amazon just have an e-commerce arm?
Apparently that's the only company you even know of.

Really though, what kind of retarded buffoon thinks Amazon is not e-commerce?
A retired tech mogul?
Which are the largest ecommerce companies in the world?
Ugh, I consider e-comm to be an entire industry of companies, some of which are just as big as Amazon's market arm.
Any comment on it that only includes Amazon is just fucking stupid. Even brick and mortar stores do drop shipping at a minimum, retard.
I referenced Amazon because that is your buddy @HuskyBuck’s claim to fame.
Saying Amazon isn’t an e-commerce company is the dumbest thing I’ve read on this board, though.
which other e-commerce company has Amazon’s “market arm,” by the way?
e-commerce isn’t laying off employees!
2nd-largest ecomm company

Shopify laid of 20% of their workforce less than a year ago. Truly a thriving company. Keep the ecomm wisdom coming, Retard.

Oh so they cut bait on a new play that failed.
Great pull Chris. Dumb shit.
You have no clue what you're talking about which is why you've lumped in secors that aren't in e-commerce to make your point.
AI is already into e-comm. Layoffs havent been in e-comm and have nothing to do with it.
This kind of micro-penis-dick-measuring poasting is fascinazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Sorry to put you to sleep.
Let's steer this back to intelligent thoughts such as 'How come the anime business owner can't run his retarded store in dystopian downtown Portland?'
I'll never lose interest bashing Portland. Best example of collective brain-dead urban suicide I've seen, next to Seattle, of course.
