I agree that it comes off as very cynical and feels like a PR piece for amazon and automation.
Also, the problem isn't just that current amzn employees aren't being fired. The problem is also that hiring of NEW employee hiring could be significantly curtailed and wages could stagnate. Not to mention how this would affect local businesses.
AMZN is a major employee during holiday season. Would be interesting how things work out going forward.
