So, Amazon operates in all 50 states. Back in 2018 some states were reported as having 500-1000 Amazon employees on SNAP.
So let's be generous and say 'only' 12,000 (250x50) such people exist.

Amazon making 14,000 redundant because a 13% year on year increase in sales to $167.7bn (£125bn) just isn't enough.
(That 414ft, $400,000,000 schooner won't pay for itself, eh Jeff?)
But it's not just Amazon...
