> Amazon Full Time Employees: 154,100

Post-Seattle construction: 224,100

Amazon is building office space for 70,000 workers in downtown Seattle.



But what part of that is just hubris or real estate investment? They arguably have enough people to run their retail and AWS operations and to expand those businesses without expanding people. A large portion of their other projects are just sort of grasping at straws to see if there is some sort of business there.


Are they moving any workers from existing sites into that building? Or will that new flagship building be fresh-hires-only?
