Report: Walgreens cuts hourly workers’ pay for 6 major holidays
The hourly employees will only be paid if they work on those holidays.

Amazon’s AI layoffs have begun.

Amazon plans to eliminate approximately 14,000 jobs: www.aboutamazon.com/news/company...

As of June 30, Amazon employed about 1.55 million people globally, but only about 350,000 are corporate employees, meaning that the 14,000 represents 4% of that headcount.

The massive AWS outage that broke half the internet is finally over - here's what happened
