I think they meant because 500 people who also work there are losing their jobs.

Ah, my bad, thanks! To be honest, there is so much fear of layoffs at Amazon that most people are either totally numb to it, or are constantly just waiting for their turn/an opportunity to leave.

I feel ya man, I don't work at Amazon but at a fintech startup, and I've survived through so many rounds of layoffs, demotions, and "restructurings" that I'm kinda numb to it all and just waiting for my turn too haha
