Just as planned - Amazon Execs who aren't planning to rehire them anyway.

They do this shit to cull you.

It's sort of a strange approach, because this will leave you with the workers who can't find employment elsewhere.

Exactly...they won't be picky about raises or working conditions.

Most companies are satisfied with adequate workers rather than diligent and empowered workers. The latter cost too much. This is a convenient way for Amazon to cull the crew without incurring bad PR. This is why it’s often a shitshow in offices and warehouses; because the workers with self esteem and motivation either get fed up and leave or are forced out. This is just a facet of Big Capitalism.
